What A Deal They Have For Me!

To think, people fall for this .

They should keep this stuff strictly to those shopping channels where they advertise them as a "Great Investment".

The sad part is that by pitching overpriced junk as a "numismatic investment" they have soured tens of thousands of people on the coin collecting hobby as a whole when they take Grandma's home-shopping modern coin stash to the local coin shop and discover it's worth either melt or zero.

Heck, what am I saying. They probably got your name from China!

Exactly! I remember hearing a story of a husband who spent years buying stuff off the "Coin Show" (since the RCM pumps stuff out constantly there is a lot more "great investments" to be pushed off here up north, this one being the biggest) and eventually spending about $15,000.

When he passed his wife took his coins from the "Coin Show" to the local coin shop to sell them, only to find out they are worth a 1/5 of what her husband paid. The dealer who told me this said she just started crying .

This place has all kinds of bargains. The V-Nickels they advertise for $19.95 + $1.95 shipping (each) is pretty tempting. You need to buy a "collection" of 20, and you also get: "Display: Hand-finished, cold-cast porcelain sculpture that revolves on a wooden base." So a roll of 20 and some crappy display for $438.

But their a legitimate company, they wouldn't lie!

Perhaps it's time to put on a mask and hack into all of the television networks and make future collectors aware

We should probably start a thread on coin/gold/silver commercials and advertising you shouldn't buy.

Although I would venture to guess the people buying this stuff will never see this forum or thread.

Now I know what to get you for your birthday.


Getting old will do that to you.
