JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 4:46 pm These don't usually turn out to be very good deals - common date coins, and I don't see any guarantees about the condition of the enclosed examples. Price seems very high, considering. Report this Post to the Staff
Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 4:50 pm Yeah, just wondering, seemed pricy to me too! Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 5:02 pm Probably $27-28 for the coins and $71-72 for the packaging. I bet all the coins in this set have been polished. Report this Post to the Staff
ljenkins990 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 5:19 pm That Mercury looks really strange, also something about the lettering on the quarter just doesn't seem right. I also tend to distrust anyone who refers to steel cents as "rare". Definitely a bad deal IMO. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 7:57 pm It's a marketing scheme targeting a generation who had more trust in businesses and their products. Hence all the snazzy but worthless prose/packaging. I've been there when people come into shops, having bought stuff like this, expecting they'll get back their investment. Perhaps, if silver someday climbs to $200/ounce. Report this Post to the Staff

murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 12:41 am I think people are paying for the frame and presentation... Because the coins are totally not worth that price. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 03:16 am Me thinks you can do better purchasing these coins off of ebay individually. Les Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 5:49 pm It's not like you're getting those exact coins--they're images dropped-in, probably because the real ones are culls. Report this Post to the Staff
