wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 11/13/2008 5:11 pm Actually I saw these a few days ago on a commercial right in the NBC nightly news. They were going crazy about the "first" and "official" and "lavishly plated" I feel sorry for those who got tricked... Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 11/13/2008 5:26 pm I just saw a commercial on Fox news for these coins. 9.95 + shipping for a $1 coin. But if you call RIGHT NOW, we'll send you TWO for the price of one! Never did they say how much shipping would be. Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 11/14/2008 12:04 am tepritts- well they aren't defacing the coin, rather they are putting something over the face. I too saw this on MSNBC tonight. It made me shudder... Report this Post to the Staff

Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 11/14/2008 10:46 am If you buy the Obama change collection you are esentially buying overpriced coins with stickers on them. I'll bet that these are selling pretty well. Quote: was it from The New Jersey Mint or something like that ? If they were from New Jersey, then they would also glow in the dark.
