2009 Silver American Eagle Coin in Uncirculated Condition

I wanted to purchase 4 of these beautiful Silver Eagles, but after the shipping of $4.49 per coin $17.96 in shipping fees, I had to pass. If the seller changes there shipping rates to $4.49 for 4 coins I will concider buying from them.

The product is great but they charge shipping per coin which means it is not worth it.One assumes that most people want to buy silver and gold coins for investment but at a 25% total charge per coin this is totally ridiculous.The funny thing is just a week or so after buying a few coins this way I was in my own town only a few miles from where I lived and was able to buy 200 of these same coins with no shipping fee-the seller was actually only asking about 15 cents on the coin per mark up of the going value.-shop around as one can do much better.As for the coin itself,it is beautiful and truly a work of art.

This listing has cost me a negative feedback due to Amazon allowing main description and item picture to be ambiguous! No date is given in the description leading other sellers to assume any date of the same coin is okay. Yet the photo is of an ’06. Considering that a great many buyers do not read or don’t know to read even the secondary descriptions of other sellers, this creates a situation just begging for misunderstandings, returns and negative feedback. In my case I tried to simply ask my buyer to acknowledge that he knew it was a different date than the one in the picture but he didn’t read E-mail either so would not reply. I then canceled the sale pending him verifying what he wanted but he simply did nothing till weeks later when he was upset that noting ever showed up. Mind you I was not paid and he never got a finalized notice that the item had shipped but that did not matter to him. He just assumed this that and the other thing and I would have been danged no matter what I did! It is simply not okay for Amazon to allow ambiguity like this while maintaining the policy that negative feedback can never be challenged no matter how unreasonable the buyer may have been. Amazon will not admit to anything they just maintain the “only sell your item if it is EXACTLY the same item” yet they allow coin listings to omit the date? And then to make it worse they allow buyers to have zero responsibility to read Email inquiries from sellers when they are trying to simply verify what the buyer thinks he or she is attempting to buy! The situation really does suck! Amazon’s answer? “If you can’t find an identical listing, you can create your own. But that is a HASSLE! Might as well open an auction on Ebay if I am going to that effort! I believe that all Amazon needs to do to fix this problem is to simply include a verification step where the buyer verifies absoutely that they did READ and understand the individual seller’s description for the item as they pay for it. End of 95% of troubles! What is so hard about that? It’s such a DUHHHH! Come on! Let’s not let pride get get into our thinking so we want to argue! It’s a FACT that lots and lots of buyers are NOT reading the individual descriptions and are just assuming whatever they think seems to be suggested by the item originally posted. Then they are upset when an item has someone’s name name engraved or has stickers plastered all over it’s case or it’s missing documentation or whatever minor variable it might have … even though each variable is clearly detailed in the individual descriptions!
