PFS Buyers Club: New US Mint Coin Arbitrage Opportunity (~$138 Net Profit, 7/21/26)

(Update 7/13: There are additional new deals on July 16th, which is even higher demand. One has a cost of $755.95 and a profit of $244.05 per order. Basic deal structure is the same. Sign-up for an account below to get the details. Good luck!)

New deal July 21st, 2026. The US Mint regularly releases limited-edition coins to collectors. The coin sets are often limited to one per household, but end up with a market value greater than the initial cost. PFS Buyers Club is a website broker that recruits regular folks to buy their allotted coin set with a set markup amount, with the agreement that they will sell only to PFS Buyers Club. For example, you might pay $300 for a coin and they’ll agree to pay you $350 for it – a fixed profit of $50.

On Tuesday, July 21st at 12:00 pm Noon Eastern Time, there is a new guaranteed profit opportunity. A limited edition American Eagle 2026 One Ounce Silver Enhanced Uncirculated Coin will be released then, with a purchase limit of ten (10) per household.

PFS will pay you a fixed commission of $104.05 for 10 coins (must be exactly 10), on top of your cost for the set. The total paid is $1,800. The cost of each order of ten coins will be $1,690. After including the $5.95 shipping charge, each order’s total will be $1,695.95. If you subscribed to these or have already made three purchases with the Mint this year, you should get free shipping.

You’ll also earn credit card rewards on your ~$1,700 purchase (worth another ~$34 at 2% cash back), or also possibly satisfying the requirements for some $500+ value credit card bonuses. This makes the total net profit safely around $138.

Note that the eventual value of the set may exceed that elsewhere – you may see a higher bid on eBay, for example – but if you want to make that bet, don’t promise to sell to PFS Buyers Club. Just buy it on your own and try to sell it yourself. Keep in mind that eBay seller fees can be quite high (13.25%+ of the final selling price + PayPal fees), and you’ll be responsible for other costs like the proper shipping with adequate insurance. PFS Buyers Club will send you a free prepaid mailing label (including tracking and insurance) and pay you via eCheck, paper check, or PayPal. Even as an experienced eBay seller, I still prefer a low-stress experience when dealing with these types of valuables. You don’t have the risk of a price drop, or a random eBay user who claims never to have received your coin.

My past experience. I have used PFS successfully several times since 2021. Everything has gone smoothly each time and I have been paid my money in full without issue. The amount of communication was great and in fact better than expected; I was kept up-to-date every step of the way.

The total time commitment was the stop at the Fedex store to drop off the box with prepaid label. The eCheck option worked great – I printed the check out at home and deposited immediately via mobile app. PFS has a very solid reputation online. Their success has spawned many competitors, and some may offer you more money than PFS. I have nothing positive or negative to say about the competitors, as I have never used them. As always, I try to write based on my own personal experience. However, if this is your very first deal, I would consider PFS because they have the longest reputation and a time-tested process. I think it’s a good setup for beginners (well, those who are good at following directions) and folks who want minimal risk like myself.

If this interests you, you can sign up to join PFS Buyers Club here to see the details on the current offers (there may be another deal coming up soon on 7/16). Sometimes these deals fill up, so I would sign-up (it’s free) and opt-in sooner rather than later. You can still opt out of the deal until an hour prior to the coins going on sale. They will provide very detailed instructions. Follow them carefully, and it was pretty easy for me as a first-time buyer. If you use that link, I will receive a referral fee the first time you successfully sell your coin for a profit. Thanks for those that use it, and for those that already used it years ago! You’ll also be notified for future deals, some of which have very little upfront notice.

(p.s. I don’t write about coin deals often, the last one I wrote about was back in 2022 I think, this one just seemed to be a good mix of profit and spend. Some deals require a huge upfront purchase, and others the profit is under $100 and not worth my time.)

Comments

  1. can confirm, done a dozen of these over the last 5 years or so. no issues. sadly I start a new job on the 20th so can’t plan to be glued to the website on the 21st.

    Jonathan,
    While I agree with you that PFS makes it simple, you should also include that if one was to shop around for where to sell coins, one can make substantially more with other buyers. Of course, one has to do due diligence to ensure their buyer is legit, has a known history of paying w/zero problems.

    PFS has had “some” issues in the past – especially around tickets –> https://www.404media.co/ticket-brokers-bet-on-travis-scott-will-lose-thousands-of-dollars/

    One should either find buyers for their coins (and NO, NOT the guy down at the local coin shop – he’ll probably pay less than PFS & stay away from eBay).

    There are great places to sell coins, such as CollectPure –> https://www.collectpure.com/ BUT, you have to know that you have a winner on your hand.

    For example, this week, the Mint will be selling the 1st ever coin that is NOT shaped like a coin – it’s a Liberty Bell shaped coin – they are only making 2026 of them each, in 1oz Silver, 1/2oz Gold, and 1oz Gold. If by some miracle you are able to get one – you can easily make $1,000 – but again, it has to be a miracle that you got one – and probably you’ll have to be certified by the Vatican, as you would for Sainthood! /s

  3. PLEASE remember that PFS does not guarantee it will buy your coins. Make sure you’re happy with your purchase because you may end up having to keep it! This is taken from their website:

    “—> Please note: At this point we only need a limited amount of orders, so…

    Once/if we reach our current capacity, we’ll have a waitlist option to sign up to. If/when we get additional capacity we will email members who are on the waitlist on a first come, first serve basis.
    If we do need a lot more coins, we may increase our commission, in which case, we’ll increase the commissions for all of our opt-ins (even if you opted in with a lower commission).”

    • I’m afraid I don’t agree with that description. That’s why they conduct an opt-in process, done before the sale opens. Once they reach their target number of orders, they close the opt-in process. Then it is a waitlist. If you opt-in, you agree to sell them to them, and they agree that they will purchase your coins. Both sides agree to the arrangement. Definitely read the whole instructions before committing. They’ve been doing this for many years.

      If the demand goes up, they will increase the price for everyone, because you as the customer can opt-out as close-in as an hour prior to the coins going on sale.

  4. In your experience, how long does it usually take them to ship / deliver the coins? I’m debating trying this out but I see that PFS requires the coins to be shipped in 2 business days of receipt and I have some potential timing issues.

    • Cooper's Dad says

      Typically the Mint ships within 1-2 days and they arrive about 5 days following the sale. Sometimes they are backordered and don’t ship immediately though. After you buy a coin, you tell PFS that you successfully ordered and give PFS your order ID. They can then track the shipping status with the Mint and they know when your coin ships and when it is received, so if it’s delayed you’re not out of compliance with the PFS deal as long as you ship to them within 1-2 days of receipt.
