I signed up for text alert and never got a text

 

They have been doing this for years and they continue to do it because they can.  They are the largest distributor in the US and release exclusives like this coin.  I do not buy from Apmex unless I am forced to because of an exclusive that I really want.  In general their prices are much higher than other dealers.

I'd try to put some other kind of text alert on there, one you know will trigger soon, and see if it comes through.  I got the text and jumped on there to order right away.  All that said, I agree on pricing, these are literally almost the only coins I ever even try to look for on APMEX.  My first stop is usually providentmetals.com (which is now owned by JM Bullion), I usually also check sdbullion.com as well, and THEN I'll usually go to APMEX.

On sale at European mint for a whopping €39.95.just the one will do at that price to continue the series....pity.

I'm very glad I got mine for less than £30. They are expensive bits of silver, but I still think the quality of coin is great and the designs are strong, people pay a lot for the big five series and other premium coins, I think the black flag will rate as highly as those eventually.

Mine are almost here, I should get them probably tomorrow.  I'll post some pics as soon as I get them!

I will agree that APMEX pricing is usually a bit than many of their competitors, but I will add that I've never been burned by them regarding the quality/condition of the coins they offer.  Can't same the same after dealing with some others, trying to save some bucks.  I still tend to shop around first, but many times end up back there,  because at least they have stock.  That's been a real challenge this year.

  FWIW, it helps to occasionally check your APMEX club status.  You do know that they offer a number of discounts, quantity price breaks, accelerated shipping and price matching, depending on how many orders, etc. you've placed ?  

ps: my 5oz'r should show up this Saturday!  This release seems to have sold out even more quickly than the initial one last year.

[g33x0r]

So far I've had good luck with condition on the sites I've used (JM Bullion and Provident - both before and after the merger, and APMEX).  All that said, I'm still waiting on those silver @ spot deals to come back "in stock" lol.  I only ever got the JM Bullion one, still so many to exhaust.  

[g33x0r]

Oh dang, they came this morning!  I wasn't expecting until tomorrow Friday, here's a quick pic.  I'll try to post some better pics later on.

thank you @g33x0r for the pic. they look awesome. 

[Branman1986]

Wow, they look amazing... They really upped the game compared to the QAR.  The artwork is so much better!

[flipstar]

Hi,

I'm new here so hello to you all. I am after the newly released 1 oz silver coin in the Black Flag series, The Royal Fortune. I have the Queen Anne's Revenge which is a lovely coin, but struggling to get my hands on the new Black Bart coin.

Does anyone know where I can get one that's in stock or wish to sell one to me?

Thanks!

KP

Thanks daca, appreciated. I assume then there is no UK based dealer that has these? To make this more economic I'd have to put my hand in my pocket and buy more silver from the EM to justify the postage costs  😃

The annoying part is your coin gets exposed on that peculiar channel....

If you are not here to help please refrain from spamming

Ever heard of freedom of speech? And its a fact that your purchases are getting exposed on that channel....

 

In the unboxing videos there is a tonne of silver, many pieces identical and it is impossible to trace a piece to a individual without knowing  the person details and order. 

Freedom of speech doesn't take precedent on attacking other members of this community.

Thats your opinion that one cannot be traced. I claim the opposite. 

The burden of proof is on you (you claim that is possible, bring hard proofs and I'll coincide if need be). Without proof you are just a spammer .

Thanks Bambi. Will take s look. Being UK based I'd likely get stung with a customs charge 🙂

Hi @Kenny merging your topic with this since it is for the same item.

[DonQuijones]

fwiw I know some UK members with family in the states ordered a few as soon as went live on APMEX. So my bet is you'll see them in the forum over coming months and probably at a more reasonable price than dealers. I'm on the fence myself as to whether to continue the series. Beautiful coins but apmex exclusive..

Exactly this. Same thing happened with the Queen Anne's Revenge.

I'll be selling some my brother bought for me stateside when travel to America is a bit more normal.

Gutted!

Been away from the forums due to other commitments and covid issues etc... completely missed the boat on this one 😭

The Queen Anne's Revenge was the coin that got me into silver stacking/collecting as well so i'm double annoyed at myself 😂. I'm pretty sure i signed up for the email alerts as i knew i would be busy but I must've just missed it or never received one.

I'll be putting a wanted post up in the buy/sell area shortly but if any of you lucky gits has one going spare for a decent price and feels pity for a stupid idiot like me then feel free to drop me a PM.
