"If you like the subject theme represented by these coins, admire the beauty of the design or would like to own them as a souvenir or to show support for their particular cause, by all means buy them. That's it. Expect these companies selling these to make a profit, not you. IMO, these are no different than those painted quarters. Junk. swcoin.ecrater.com

Bobby.......don't forget.......they give you a genuine "Certificate of Authenticity".  It's amazing, when I had my retail storefront, how many people came in with this type of stuff to sell and I had to tell them the facts. I could always read their minds when then left: (i.e. "This guy ain't gonna cheat me. I know they are worth lots more than he said)." Sure makes me sick when these companies ruin a good possible coin collector in marketing junk to them. But, fast buck Charlies will always be around in the collector/investment market. Sort of sad.  Oh! No offense to anyone named Charlie on here.  |

Isn't the PNG warning sort of "preaching to the choir"?
Most who buy this stuff are not numismatists or even somewhat educated collectors. I see this sort of advertising in our Sunday paper. What I don't see is a PNG ad saying this is over-priced junk and the buyer should be aware of what exactly they are buying.
Just a thought.

I have noticed the "Barack Obama Inaugural Dollar" banner ad on this website. Anyone buying? It is "Layered in Genuine 24 Karat Gold" I just hope it does not become a "Featured Auction", or the much anticipated "Coin of the week" Unless it is April 1st! Edited by MINT_MARQ
