In reply to Mike Unser (CoinNews.net). They sure are keeping it under wraps. I guess they’re not trying to get new subscribers but rewarding those already participating. Thanks for the info. I’ll call and see if it applies to new enrollees.

Steve, the U.S. Mint first announced the decision at its last numismatic forum in Washington, D.C. They wanted to offer a small thank you to loyal customers and make the program more attractive.

In early January, the agency also told subscribers about its free budget shipping change in an email notice to subscribers titled “New For Enrollment Program.”

I can’t find anything on the Mint website that says they will wave standard shipping on enrollment sales. What did you find that actually said they wouldn’t charge. I cancelled my enrollment years ago because the standard shipping made some purchases added 25 to 50% to the price.

I’m impressed, a very logical move on the Mint’s behalf. I’d considered canceling my subscriptions and purchasing these products at one time to eliminate the $4.95 S&H fee on an individual product basis. This simple decision should translate into more subscription orders, aid the Mint in forecasting and appease collectors.

Any savings is good savings. Lets see if this new incentive increases the sales of American silver eagles. I think it just might, time will tell.
