All this for only 139.95 + $8.95 S&H. Sales pitch is that the proofs are 100 time rarer than the production cents, and the PR70 is 100 time rarer than the average proof. Found the race it's on TNT __________________ ANA - MSNS - EAC - SLCC - NLOC "A penny hit by lightning is worth six cents" Opie Taylor   07-04-2009, 09:43 PM   #2 (permalink) stainless CONSVL     Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: T-Town Beat Down, Michigan Posts: 3,153 My Mood: How many sets did you buy?

I know everything you buy on HSN is a crock, but the log cabin pennies were good deals when they started out, two MS67's, P and D, then two Rolls one P and D, then the red oak presentation box for less than $50. (If you ask me that was one heck of a deal, for what the 67's go for now graded by PCGS and NGC) Me personally, I wouln't buy from HSN or recommend it to anybody __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-04-2009, 10:13 PM   #7 (permalink) chip chip   Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Northern Illinois Posts: 583 Blog Entries: 14 "The HSN does probably does not look at knowledgable collectors as being their target audience."

Come Quick. Bud and Lou go through the U-Drive routine to save money on the travel, finally after getting to Alaska they find Lou's uncle in jail. His explanation was, " yea I struck gold, Sam Gold, the Sheriff" __________________ ANA - MSNS - EAC - SLCC - NLOC "A penny hit by lightning is worth six cents" Opie Taylor   07-04-2009, 10:19 PM   #11 (permalink) PennyGuy Ones and Twos     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Jackson MI Posts: 1,334 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by chip "The HSN does probably does not look at knowledgable collectors as being their target audience."

His explanation was, " yea I struck gold, Sam Gold, the Sheriff" Was that an episode of the series? I don't remember a movie about that - I know they did one about alaska, but I don't remember it. My favorites are "The time of their lives" and "Hold that Ghost". __________________ the other mark Best Baan Community Empty airtite seeks unwanted coins.

I'm thinking it was a routine from their TV show. Probably should do some research now that I'm thinking of it. __________________ ANA - MSNS - EAC - SLCC - NLOC "A penny hit by lightning is worth six cents" Opie Taylor   07-05-2009, 04:01 AM   #14 (permalink) BadThad Lincoln Cent Crazed     Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 1,083 Quote: Originally Posted by tmoneyeagles Aren't the PF70's going for like $400 a set on ebay, graded by NGC?
