how come you can’t buy bullion from the perth mint if you live in the U.S.A.?

profitter

Import tax ,postal and IRS rules make foreign bullion coins higher premium, so who really stupid to buy it,? Unless it have collector value like silver panda

You know how much shipping is from Australia?!? Wouldn’t want to pay that cost. I just wait until a domestic coin dealer has the bullion and buy it there 🙂

Shipping isn’t that bad. … i bought the star trek coin set directly from them,and the expedited shipping was only $15. ..
