WOW! If I do three EASY payments of just $69.98, I'll save a grand total of $0.01!  |

AU50, mixed mint marks. You know it will be a 78-s and a 21-p. Maybe worth the first installment? Oh, and did you like them on face book?  |

If you watch the video, they advertise both the coins as Brilliant Uncirculated for $149.95.
The website is $209.95 for AU/BU coins.
Quite a Markup.

The first comment is someone who obviously hasn't stumbled onto the CCF.
We'd get here on the right track instead of constant derails ;-)

Something funny happens when people overpay for things--especially on impulse venues like HSN. Rather than admit their mistake, they will turn around and act like it's the most amazing deal ever.  |

The only way that package would be worth getting is if both coins are MS64 or better. And I doubt thats the case.

Well they gotta pay for TV airtime, and that ain't cheap, I'm guesing a 400%+ mark up on everything.
Seriously though, these guys really do a diservice to the hobby, they do get new collectors into the hobby, but that is usually lost when the buyers find out how much they have over paid. I really hate how much they use the term "RARE" to me a coin isn't really rare unless there are only a small precentage available compared to the demand. like 100 to 1 or so.

WHAT? Your all skeptical about HSN? Why here I always thought that was the greatest place on Earth to buy STUFF. Not coins, not jewlery, not photo equipment, but STUFF. |

I added to the second comment that it was helpful. That should push it to 9 out of ten.
With such a lopsided vote that a comment calling the product overpriced and not good was helpful, I'm surprised they haven't deleted that comment.
