Huh. $499?  They might be jumping the gun here as to value of those, because are total mintages established? Looks like they're pushing for an impulse buy before collectors sort out value. |

COIN-Values has the missing letter coins going for $200 and up at an MS64 so the price may be a good one if you trust their price guide. The double lettering I have not seen anything on prices but some would jump on it just to get it. I am not really into error coins so I would rather spend the money on something else.
But, I did have to laugh at the other specials they were showing in the background and the outrageous prices for those. I just can not see me buying any coin off of HSN for some reason. If they are such rare coins, how do they always get their hands on a large number of them and sell them for "a ridiculously low price"?

"The Biggest Mint Error in the history of the world?" I think not. Just think of all of the odd mules that have occurred over the years, such as the 1985 New Zealand 50 Cents/ Canada Voyager Dollar. I'm also certain that some of the horribly off-center ancient coins out there also are of some note.

 I almost laughed when the host said it was "Certified Gem, Super, Choice, Gem, Brilliant, Uncirculated." I had no idea that ICG is giving out all those descriptions. Once he mentioned the "Red Oak Presentation Box." I was immediately sold.  |

"the biggest error ever on coins" What about the 1943 Bronze cent? or does that not count as the error isn't on the coin, but rather the coin itself? |

So I guess the only big errors coins that are out there in the world are the ones they currently have in there inventory. Ha ha Next month stay tuned for new bigger error coins that are more rare and more scarce and they have a huge error on them only available on HSN or QVC. I bet they where purposely made by the mint for HSN and QVC and somehow the grading companies has there fingers in the profits of these also. They all seem to grade the same MS-69. Sorry one more laugh. |

When I run across this channel, I watch for a little while simply because I like coins.
But, as I watch, I have to wonder how many folks get taken in by a great bargain," only to find out later that the bargain wasn't worth the money they paid out.

You know, the biggest problem with these con-artists is the ignorant buyer that buys them as a gift for a coin collector in the family.  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Exactly what everyone is missing here. Yes the coins are nice but do you realize they are throwing in that box FREE? |
