GEM BU P&D 1999-2001 Gold & Platimum plated State Quarters for $99.95 and it was $600.00! http://www.shopcsntv.com/detail.asp...m=1&item=716 Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 04/23/2006 09:25 am I can't believe some fall for this! They are way overpriced and plated coins suck, they build up coins to be more rare and valuable than they really are, very misleading.... Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 04/23/2006 11:15 am The fact is that these coins have been altered and therefore don't even have true collector value any longer. I have watched some of these shows that call these altered coins "Mint State" and "Brilliant Uncirculated". These coins are neither. They are simply altered coins which many would consider damaged at this point. Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 04/23/2006 11:31 am I definately consider those quarters damaged. I just can't believe the original price was $600.00! Also I seen they sell the westward journey nickels series for an outrageous price and all they did was take a mint bag or roll and place them into a plastic holder and boom, it becomes a rarity and hot item. Go figure. Report this Post to the Staff
