Danbury Mint.holy Cow. Amazing.once In A Lifetime.

Lol. I watched about 2 minutes of that this morning before I finally changed the channel.

These coins will never be minted again!
They are rarely found in circulation!
They will come in a special plastic collector's roll.

Any takers?

These people are a cancer on our hobby. People who buy this junk and then find out they have been hosed will often have a bad taste in their mouth for coin collecting and never pursue it further.

I've seen this "program" !
They even format the show to appear as though it were a "News show" with "reporters" and such......too funny !
And yeah, they sure "paint it up". They even interview a top "Numismatic Author" at the entrance of the "vault".
One of the most worthless coins to be produced in eons....and the "National Enquirer" type coin companies are taking every opportunity possible to make that cash.

Don't get me wrong.......I'm collecting them !......I'll make a Proof Whitman album of them and some folders for kids and such.....but that's quite different than what you'll see from HSN or The Danbury Mint, etc. etc, trying to get folks to pay outrageous prices for what they can get for face value from their banks.....or directly from the Mint.........
On one hand, these infomercials do bring "attention" to our sport, but then, because these sellers are often like the modern day version of the "snake-oil salesmen" from the 1800's, it kind of leaves a black eye once education and knowledge have seeped in, and you realize what you've done. So, it's a "dual-edged sword" IMHO.
