50 cents for a 1965 kennedy silver dollar from "getsilvercoin.com"? How does that work?

The site is legit....HOWEVER, and this is a big however, the shipping/handling charges are retardedly expensive. There is a limit of 3 coins. I filled out the order form with fake info just to check it out. Shipping/handling was $23.85 for 3 coins. The total for the order was $25.35 for 3 halves. Not at all worth it. I can go to my local dealer and get 40% halves for $2.50 each.

Although I don't know this particular company the "catch" is usually three parts:

(1) You are limited in quantity, often just one per order.

(2) You receive particularly poor quality -- the actual value is far less than it seems on the surface.

(3) You are required or a majority of people do order additional merchandise.

For legit businesses, of course, (3) is the driving reason why they do these promos. Legit coin dealers have had "free" give aways of "junk" coins for years & years. I suspect that if the actually order does not have a "plus $4.99 in shipping & handling" in mice print somewhere, then the dealer receives an average order far in excess of $2.25 on such promos.

**EDIT**

The site looks very scam-like.

I see nothing that looks like a legit dealer behind the site and the bit about the "release" is exceedingly deceptive as is the bold face lie about the $40 quote. Not a good sign.

I agree that, although it's hard to tell from the Web site, this MUST be some sort of scam.

I wouldn't give these people my credit card number. WAY too many alarm bells are going off in my head.
