Below is a copy of the email i sent to my friends... some here may find it useful.

Good morning brothers and sisters below is a post from a Website I frequent. If you buy or keep Gold Or Silver this is an add that ran in the Smithsonian Magazine.

They are currently out of the gold coins and all years of the silver except 2009 and they are limiting 2009 to one per household . But at $12.50 it’s a great deal. That covers shipping and insurance as well. The company is 1st American reserve. Spot right now is 12.53. to buy from a dealer there would be mark up beyond that. its only one coin but still it’s a silver coin

Hope this is info you can use

Appearing in an advertisement in the January 09 issue of Smithsonian magazine is an offer for a 2009 $12.50 ASE- limit one per household. Offer made by 1st American Reserve. The offer includes a free five year newsletter subscription and a free Baush and Lomb numismatic loup.

Or you can get the same fee offers if you buy a 2009 $5 gold American Eagle for $80.00.

No shipping fees listed.
