Check this out: https://a.govid1.com/nationalcollec...ideo1199.mp4Note: made by a PRIVATE mint and only has 14mg of actual gold. Also, they are selling them for $10. What a scam.  They're trying to reel people in that don't know about coins, but have seen the photos of the actual $50 gold piece. |

Aren't they losing money by selling a $50 coin for $10? Doesn't make any sense.

14 mg of gold is about 63 cents worth also.

They wouldn't be selling them for 10$ unless they were making money.
If you only pay attention to the first 30 seconds of the "infocommercial" you might think you are getting a 24k 50$ gold Buffalo. There are people that fall for this every day. It's a tactic from marketing 101.
I'm sure they'll sell another boat load of these things that are probably made under contract with a shop in China.

They have copy stamped on them, they CLEARLY call it a tribute copy, and CLEARLY say there's only 14mg of gold.
No scam here, move along people.

Of course it's a scam, OspreyCoins has been led to believe he'll get 63 cents worth of gold when in fact he'll get closer to 50 cents worth.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Sorry my numbers were based off of an unrevised melt value calculator.

They tell you exactly what it is (in a pretty booming voice) and give you a price. No big deal, sorry.

So people with any common sense at all don't know that you aren't going to get a pure Gold coin for $9.95?
I'm sure they will sell out, how does the saying go, a fool and his money?
