I know there are coin shows on channels 95 and 224 on DirecTv, are there any other channels? I wouldn't ever buy anything from these shows but I do get a kick out of seeing what they are selling and for how much. Thanks.

Not sure what networks those are, but HSN (Home Shopping Network) has two or three "collectible" coin shows. In my limited experiences, all these shows are garbage.

If you type coins or coin in the search on Directv you will find others. John1  Edited by John1

They are fun to watch occasionally, the stuff they say is just ridiculous

There's actually three that are on simultaneously late at night, but I don't remember the channels. They're fairly close on the grid.

Channel 222 Rare Coins & Collectables
Channel 223 Art & Coin
Channel 227 The Coin Vault.
* There are a few more , but these are usually on a lot on DirecTV.
I just tune in on occasion to see how much over-priced they are on their items etc!

Tamaska is the one on Channel 222.
He's not too bad, pretty informative on how proof's are made etc.

Are you guys sure these are the channels for DirecTv? I've only seen the shows on channel 95 and 224.
You are not talking about DISHTV are you?
Channel 222 is the SAVE channel
Channel 223 is the Celebrity Shopping channel
Channel 227 is the PAID channel
Channel 324 is the America's Auction channel ( I could see this channel having coins on it for DirecTv )
On DirecTv channel 95 has the Art and Coin show
On DirecTv channel 224 has the Coin Vault show

@John1 - how do you search for "coins" on DirecTv?

Nevermind...... :) I just scrolled into the future on the guide on those channels and saw there were coin shows on all of those channels. THANKS!

I saw the one on Home Shopping Network a few days ago. Even though I won't ever buy anything from the guy, I still end up watching it every time.
It always gets me mad when he lists things at super-high prices but still sells them every show. For instance, he was selling single 2014 Kennedy silver coins for $80 each, when they are still available from the US Mint at $99.95 for the set of four. He sold hundreds of each (and made thousands of dollars in profit) in around 20 minutes. I wish I had easy income like that! I also don't know why getting paperwork that states that the coin you buy is an 'authentic' purchase from HSN! ?
Anyway, like I said, I still watch it every time I can. Right now I've got to take my meds! Bye!!

I can take these shows in small doses. It doesn't bother me at all to hear some of the things they're saying. They are not appealing to coin collectors. These guys are selling to people who like and appreciate coins, but don't invest a lot of time gaining knowledge. Nothing wrong with that, but it does make you think of the possibilities. With all the variety of shows out there, it would be VERY interesting to have one about Numismatics... I think something like Pawn Stars, but with coin dealers/coin shops dealing with the business and true passion of coin collecting.

Much easier to watch if you have a DVR and can fast forward.

This is not an endorsement. Rick Tamaska puts on a good show. I've seen CBHs and other coins not usually hawked by the others, overpriced but not ridiculously high. Interesting.

I've bought a few things from Rick Tamaska and he doesn't sell junk a little pricy but you do get quality coins, but I haven't seen him lately. I have bought a few things that interested me but only on rare occasions from TV but rarely and always remember you will pay top dollar. I love when they quote the price of silver...never current...Barry Chappel is good one for that but I love to listen to his ramblings very entertaining for sure.
