I was looking at my credit card statement last week, wondering where another hundred bucks could come from this month, when I found myself reading about a US Mint coin deal that actually made me stop scrolling.
Here’s the thing: the US Mint releases limited-edition coins to collectors all the time. They’re usually capped at one set per household, and their market value often ends up higher than what you pay upfront. PFS Buyers Club connects regular people with these sets — you buy your allotted coins at a fixed markup, agree to sell them back only to PFS, and walk away with a guaranteed profit.
Think of it like this: you might pay $300 for a coin and they’ll buy it back from you at $350. Fixed $50 profit. No guessing game.
The deal details
A new opportunity drops on Tuesday, July 21st at 12:00 pm Eastern Time. The American Eagle 2026 One Ounce Silver Enhanced Uncirculated Coin will be released then, and you can buy up to ten per household.
Here’s the breakdown for an order of exactly 10 coins:
- Cost: $1,690
- Shipping: $5.95 (free if you’ve already made three purchases with the Mint this year)
- Total cost: $1,695.95
- PFS buyback commission: $104.05 on top of your cost
You’ll also earn credit card rewards on that ~$1,700 purchase — worth another ~$34 at 2% cash back, or possibly enough to trigger some $500+ value sign-up bonuses.
That puts the total net profit safely around $138.
Why not just sell on eBay?
You absolutely can. The eventual market value of these sets may exceed what PFS offers, and you’re free to skip the PFS buyback promise entirely if you want that upside.
But keep in mind: eBay seller fees run 13.25%+ of the final selling price, plus PayPal fees on top. Then there’s proper shipping with adequate insurance — costs PFS handles for you with a free prepaid mailing label that includes tracking and insurance. They pay via eCheck, paper check, or PayPal.
Even as someone who sells on eBay regularly, I still prefer the low-stress route with these kinds of valuables. No worrying about a price drop or a random buyer claiming they never received your coin.
My experience with PFS
I’ve used PFS Buyers Club successfully several times since 2021. Everything has gone smoothly — I was paid in full every time, no issues at all. The communication was actually better than expected; they kept me updated each step of the way.
The whole process comes down to one stop: dropping off a box with a prepaid label at FedEx. The eCheck option worked great for me — I printed it out and deposited it right away through my mobile banking app.
PFS has a very solid reputation online. Their success has spawned plenty of competitors, some of whom may offer more money. I have nothing positive or negative to say about them since I’ve never used those other services. As always, I write based on what I know from my own experience.
If this is your first deal, though, I’d lean toward PFS — they have the longest track record and a time-tested process. I think it’s a good setup for beginners, especially folks who want minimal risk like myself.
Worth It?
Worth it. A guaranteed ~$138 profit on a $1,700 purchase with basically one errand involved. Not earth-shattering, but honest money for very little stress or time commitment.
Frequently asked questions
Is signing up free? Yes. You can sign up and opt in to deals at no cost. You can still opt out until an hour before the coins go on sale.
Do I have to sell back to PFS? No — you can choose to skip the guaranteed buyback and try selling yourself, but then you take on all the eBay fees and shipping risk.
If this interests you, sign up for a free account at PFS Buyers Club to see the details on the current offers. There may be another deal coming up soon on July 16th as well.
These deals sometimes fill up, so I’d sign up sooner rather than later. If you use that link, I’ll receive a referral fee the first time you successfully sell your coin for a profit. Thanks to those who use it — and thanks too to folks who used it years ago!
A note from Dana: I don’t write about coin deals often — the last one was back in 2022 — but this one just seemed like a good mix of profit and spend. Some deals want a huge upfront purchase, others offer under $100 that doesn’t feel worth my time. This one sits right in the sweet spot.
