You also agree to follow these guidelines. You must agree to these rules to be a member of this forum. NO SPAM! Spam is deleted within minutes, no spam will ever be left in our community.

1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

This is serious, Amazon CEO revealed this on 60 minutes and this is coming in the next 5 or 6 years. Would you have your coins shipped this way?

The surcharge would have to be phenomenal. And, with these things flying about, I can only imagine the number of phone calls to the police about shotguns going off in the neighborhood! :l

I thought the same thing, people are going to shoot them down or be calling about UFOs. I still think it's a good idea but the cost and logistics could be a problem.

The thing about Prime is it's a membership and you get free shipping. It cost me $7.99 a month and I can even watch free instant videos, plus other discounts. I think Amazon can pull this off, at least in suburban areas, no way this would work with apartment complexes.

I live 60 minutes from one of their warehouses so it would work for me and in my area.
