That’s a phenomenal deal/price – cheaper than 90% junk right now (per oz. of pure silver) if I did my math correctly. Very tempting…

I assume the Liberty’s are minted at MM, too (not just the “Barter is Better” rounds)?

I haven’t bought any silver EVER. But I’m going to now. Next paycheck I’ll be buying some instead of building my cash stores.

I just returned from gun show … I sold out of silver… and if I had 1/10 fractional it is the perfect product… you need your guns, ammo and “trade-able” silver I say 10 oz would do.

Every gun owner in America needs 10 oz for barter… this product is a true “para dime”

I ordered two: 1 oz rounds a week or so ago and got them in about THREE days. Now that is some fast shipping. I say great job Mulligan Mint!

I have been putting 5 oz of silver a month away so this is just perfect. I got a couple of Galts too since I have been meaning to give my brother and sister-in-law them for Christmas for about three years now and they always seem to sell out during that time of year.

You guys in the US are lucky. First of all MM will not ship to the UK 🙁 Secondly the premiums you pay are nothing compare to what we pay in Europe, because silver is liable for VAT tax. So on top of the premium 10% (if you’re lucky) you pay 22% VAT. Unless you’re in Germany where VAT for silver is only 7%, but only until end of this year.

I’m glad I waited for you to put this up, because the moment I got the Mulligan Mint email about it, I was like “i’m buying.”

Luckily we wait till a certain time of the month to pool up our savings for that month (and this month its pm. yay).

Thank you for posting both sides of the story. That is a true sign of character, imho.

So I guess I missed something, but it seems the deal for TSP in general and MSB as well has significantly changed. The original deal as I recall was $2.99 over spot for TSP coins and $1.99 for MSB. I recall that this was changed to require a minimum of 5 coins. Maybe it was 20 coins at one point, I don’t recall. Now to get this price I need to buy 100 coins from what I see. Let me be clear, I’m not saying this is a bad deal even for one coin. I guess I’m disappointed that this changed so much since the original deal to now when I’m prepared to use the deal and I can’t find where the change was announced.

ordered a bunch..

w/ MSB & Qty discounts.. the cost came out to $2.50/each

IMO that is an awesome barter interval.. and much easier for people to understand than using copper for change

(mentally I don’t think most people think of copper as ‘valuable’ in the way they do silver)

I’m going to be using these as tips, as well as getting as many as possible circulating in my community

Hmmm tried to use the msb discount for 1oz.. I have ordered before with this and it still shows up in members benefit, but it says it’s not an active discount???

Hate to be the fly in the ointment, but I’m not like the design they chose. Recreating the walking liberty design with all the US govt. markings just screams wrong to me. I don’t think I could hand this off to John Q. Public and have him not think that it is US currency. If someone wants to tell me how I’m wrong I will listen, but I’m gonna have to wait for the next paradime design, hopefully a TSP series, (nudge nudge, wink wink), to heavily invest in some.

Thanks for letting me know that they are already minting a second design.

Just picked up my first roll of Walking Liberty Paradimes and they look nice. Two week turn around on the order, so not bad there either. Only disappointment … they are bigger than regular dimes, so they don’t fit standard dime-size coin tubes. All the copper and silver 1oz rounds I’ve purchased are the same size as Silver Eagles, so they fit standard silver dollar tubes. Won’t stop me from buying a roll of the new design ‘Barter is Better’ coins though. Keep up the good work.

Just a minor annoyance because they almost fit, but not quite. Real solution here … make tubes to fit the paradimes. Guess I’ll go back and find those podcasts about Maker workshops.
