I was sitting here this evening and watching Fox Business Network and a Paid Advertisement came on. It was a man and woman saying that there was a shortage of dollar coins and how collectors have been unable to find them in the market and you should buy them now before collectors hoard them all. WHAT A CROCK!! Last time a checked, they were still on the direct ship program from the mint. It should be illegal for people to do this kind of thing. Isn't that like false advertisement or something?

Snake oil salesmen have been doing this kind of thing for centuries ! These are just "modern day" snake oil salespeople.
It was a "buyer beware" world then......and it's a "buyer beware" world now.

I have not seen this commercial yet, but I am sure that if and when I do, it will probably annoy me.

A lot of folks are wanting a piece of the "money makin' pie" that coin collecting has become.
Integrity falls prey to the All Mighty Dollar God too often. Get or acquire something "cheap" and see how much money you can sell it for, to those who are "outside" the realm of particular knowledge on whatever the subject may be....and say whatever you have to say to sell it for the most money possible.......this is their "credo".
