Not even factoring in the fact that to recover that tiny bit of gold will take a lot of time and chemicals removing all the other junk metal. Report this Post to the Staff
EnigmaticMindx Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 04/13/2012 12:35 am Wait, so you are telling me that the $2,000 I just invested in these coins I wasted my money? But they are gold CLAD!! I thought I was special because they sold me more than the 10 per customer! Ahhhh PFFFFT.. lol My grandpa just asked me the other day why don't I buy the gold coins that they are selling on TV.. I had to politely inform him of the truth. The sad thing is, I bet at least one person who has read this thread has actually fallen for it. Hopefully they are only out the 10 bucks plus shipping and handling and processing fees which I'm sure somehow comes to around $30 as it does with most $9.99 tv commercial scams.

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 04/13/2012 4:45 pm What I don't get is how can that company get away with using a copy of a mint's engraving and passing it on as a crappy product? Two strikes right there. It looks like your big coin has a malnourished buffalo on it. Edited by Libertad 04/13/2012 5:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 04/13/2012 5:11 pm Does the TV coin have "copy" on it at all. Didn't the government go after a company who had a product that was real close to a real coin even though the silver product had the word copy on it. I want to say it was a close take off on the Silver Eagle but right now I'm not sure. So how can the tv buffalo be sold even if it is a "tribute coin" that some people can take as the real thing. How close in size to the Gold buffalo that the mint is selling to this fake? If it's real close the government should go after this company unless the government is getting some sort of a royalty payment. Report this Post to the Staff
ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 04/14/2012 01:27 am I was searching for something else on ebay when I came accross a finished auction for a $50 gold buffalo tribute proof coin that ended up being sold for $15.50. A 50% profit from the advertised TV special. Shipping was free. http://www.ebay.com/itm/50-Dollar-G...em27c54a2dd6 Edited by ghostrider 04/14/2012 01:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 04/15/2012 12:00 pm , Sovereign Debt! In answer to the question about size, a copy has to be less than half as big as a dime or more than twice as big as a silver dollar, or have COPY incused on it. Raised is too easy to remove.
