| My major issue with Numis Network is the | | | | Numis Network opportunity is its ability to meet |
| product, chiefly their ?flagship coin,? the American | | | | with the demand of buyers. Silver is a consumable |
| Silver Eagle. I cannot validate spending so much | | | | metal (meaning once it?s used, it cannot be |

| So why does Numis Network charge $125 plus | | | | myself to achieve extra profits using the power |
| tax plus shipping for one troy ounce when a | | | | of network marketing. The difference between |
| savvy collector can get one troy ounce for a | | | | numismatic coin collectors and coin investors is |
| fraction of the cost? Let?s uncover the answer | | | | this: Numismatic coin collectors are compelled by |
| to this question by examining some phrases that | | | | the history and scarcity of the coin, so they are |
| are published on the company?s website. | | | | willing to pay what coin investors deem strange |
| ?Numismatic coins are legal tender coins? | | | | premiums for their products. Numismatic collectors |

| rarity, collector demand, and their actual condition.? | | | | Numis Network does not offer gold or silver |
| My concern here is in the classification of | | | | products with low or no markup. All of the |
| ?numismatic.? Numismatic coins are more valuable | | | | products advertised on their website contain huge |
| than others, because of their historic relevance or | | | | premiums factored into the spread, making it hard |
| scarcity. Thusly, numismatic coins are considered | | | | to actually make money with just the coin. If the |
| ?special? and capture a higher price than other | | | | company were to offer 1-oz. silver bars, or silver |
| coins. True numismatic coin collectors pay a | | | | rounds like Prospectors, this would be a fantastic |
| premium for scarce or historic coins because their | | | | opportunity. I can walk into any coin dealer in |

| There are many numismatists that do not | | | | American Silver Eagle. I typically like to realize a |

| A lot of us have heard financial gurus state that | | | | marketing organization, seems to be a solid |
