I can't view the link from my current location, but with 100% certainty coins advertised on TV are never a good deal for the buyer.

there has been a few topics about these on here. Yes it is a scam, they make you believe it is 24k Gold from the mint and it is worth so much money but they will sell it to you for a limited time for something like 19.99 or something like that

You mean that they're not real?!?!?

Besides "copy" in the ponytail the rest of the coin looks like crap too. Why do they try and push off a copy like its a good thing?

31mg of gold....what a solid investment or the future. You'd be far better off going down to your local coin shop and buying an ounce of silver with the $20.

31mg = 0.0011 oz
Assuming $1130/oz
$31 mg gold = $1.25
They do offer discounts if you buy multiples. I'll wait for the Buy 1 Get 15 Free sale.

My wife saw this ad on TV and thought she'd get me one of these coins as well. She called them to order one just before Christmas but was told they were sold out. I'm glad now that I see this thread (and the other thread) but you have to wonder how many people bought one if they're sold out just before Christmas.

People will do anything to make a quick buck, and they end up ruining the thrill of the hobby for newcomers.
