"World Reserve" Announces Ripoff In Sunday Paper

"free country"....."Capitolism"......"the right to be stupid"........"the right to do things that might hurt me"........"the right to sell a product to anybody who'll buy it".......
Are they selling sunglasses to the blind too ?......shampoo to bald people ?
Did you know that it's "all the rage" lately to buy this Asian face cream product made from bird poop ?...Yes it's true.....it's the Nightingale bird and it's becoming popular and very expensive in Hollywood now !
FACE CREAM + BIRD POOP.........Ahhh Capitolism and free enterprise at it's most obvious glory !!......really something to see aint it folks !

Even though ignorance is bliss.......doesn't this kind of crap just make you annoyed and angry and ruin your day ?

I'm more concerned that when the buyer goes to sell his 500% profit investment in ten yars, he's going to find that any value is reduced by having a non-standard roll.

Then it will all be blamed on the ripoff coin dealer, instead of the ripoff promoter who was prolly selling Ginzu knives last week.

Wow! That sounds like a deal to me! I'll order three and put it next to my Mighty Putty and all the other stuff Billy Mays sold me!

But seriously, if anyone ever buy one of those, they would be wasting $125.

These ads are a joke, but they must be selling to some people because I've seen them advertising since the release of the Presidential dollars. I love how they go on to mention that these coins make a great investment and they use the example of how "if a person had saved two rolls of 1973 Ikes they would now be worth more than $6,000 today." However, the 1973 Ike has a very low mintage of roughly 2 million coins per mint produced and was only released in mint and proof sets. To compare, the mintage of the Presidential dollar has been roughly 300 million units per coin released. These coins will never be worth more than face, except for the error coins. As for the 1973 Ike, after going through 1,500 Ikes, I have luckily found 2 from this date. These ads are a total con and I feel it is most likely older people who are getting ripped off, probably wanting to purchase something nice for their grandchildren.

Case in point, I had a call from a guy wanting to sell his "collection" of bullion silver eagles in MS69. Numismedia retail $1800, he had $2500 in them, and it wasn't because he bought at the silver peak.

Just one reason CCF is such a great place--people go out of their way to educate each other.

Yeah, those ads from the "World Reserve" are astounding. I have to admit, when I first saw the ad in the paper, even I initially thought it was something legitimate (and I'm usually not that gullible). It wasn't until I read further into the "article" that I realized it was just some stupid marketing ploy. The funny thing is, there's a part of me that despises them and their tactics, and another part that says "why couldn't I think of something like that?".
