Before the "coin forum", I had participated in the "Quarter Mania" from CSN and it was a learning experience I'll never repeat !! I found out AFTER talking to people here.....you are now armed with good sound experienced advice from professionals and very learned collectors. (which isn't me ! but they're all over this forum !)
I saw the other night the HSN guys were doing Morgan silver dollars ! They wanted $1,000.00 for a group of them.......... I liken them to the Snake Oil Salesmen and carpetbaggers of the Old West in the 1800's ! You know where they'd be tarred and feathered and "run out of town" after taking advantage of people. (if not hung from a tree !) They would try to sell you the Broklyn Bridge if they could. They are very good slick "sellers" of products (coins in this case. Like a televangelist in the 80's convincing you to send him your money ! Listening to them and their "show" display and the "technique" they use.......it's just incredible for people NOT armed with the knowledge before watching it ! Those "salesmen" could be successful in ANY field they chose ! (i bet you) There are enough people out there who will make these purchases for some time to come.........just based on "salesman technique" ! It's something to see truly !! (and I fell prey to them once !)

I'm glad I got some feedabck from you guys..my wife really enjoys hearing me tell her about the stories and advice you all
