There has been exactly ONE exception at HSN. The 2009 Lincoln program was actually a good deal and I bought in. I sold each of the 4 ANACS grading certs for ~$30 each and kept the P/D MS-67 slabbed coins and MS-65 P/D rolls. My cost ended up being much lower than I could have purchases all of these for separately.....not to mention the hassle. My total cost shipped was about $120 for all four issues.

 

I got some swampland in Florida for sale...cheap.

 

I am not unempathetic for many of those who were suckered in by HSN on this and many other mint issues as well. Unfortunately, this sounds as if it was a real stinger . My suggestion, move on and don't make a similar mistake again.

 

And I'm sure some poor HSN intern lost their job over it... hahah!

 

This is a case where a post on this forum for that kind of money might have helped.

 

$180 per set! Are you insane...stupid? Have you looked at the mintage numbers for this series? 100's of millions for each Mint. Yes, they will hold up as long as you can find a little old senile widow who is getting a limited Social Security check, who will end up eating the cat food because she has no money left for food because she was convinced this is one way to hedge inflation by hoarding worthless coins. Yeah, they will hold up.

Oh yeah...forgot,

Happy Collecting

 

You know this thread has been kind of harsh to this op. We are suppose to help, not tar and feather. Quite frankly I am disappointed at the "know it all" attitude being displayed here. If I was a newbie, which I still am, I would be afraid to ask basic questions. Shame on some of you.

 

I agree, some of these replies could have been a bit more less condescending . I'm out of rocks, thankfully .

 

lets see, 5 sets, does that include the pds and the platinum silver and gold plated ones? plus the silver proofs, that would be 6 quarters per state, times 50, times 5 sets, 1500 quarters, comes to 375 face, the silver proofs are worth about 5 each so 250 there, so it is not so bad after all.

 

I rest my case

 

Or in this lifetime!

 

First off, I can't for the life of me believe one word this poster is saying, they are not looking for your sympathy or will take your advice to heart, they are merely posting here to see the results, nothing more.

 

sorry but that's WAY TOO MUCH!

 

If that's the case I guess I fell for it. I understand that's a possibility and somebody is getting their rocks off on this, so be it. In any case...to the next thread:dead-horse:

 

A nice gift to pass on but as any kind of an investment way to many produced to make
It much over face!

 

Were these quarters part of this massive coin burial?

 

Unfortunately. the mintage numbers are a lot. Then a bunch of speculators bought them from the mint by the ton. I just got an advertisement offering complete unc sets for $78, because of misspelling on the folder. Truthfully,I don't bother with any of the clad Washingtons, although am considering putting together a set up to statehoods. It's like the 2010 shield cents, everyone who wants new ones has them and there's no PM content to drive value upward. IMHO

It doesn't matter whether the OP is sincere or not. We're supposed to be honest with every answer, aren;t we ?
gary

 

I never got past the title of the thread. Seems a bit strange.

 

It does seem odd that this OP's threads are all structure the same. He starys a thread with a semi-controversial topic, sticks around long enough to get people bickering and then never shows himself in that thread again. I did my best to give a well-reasoned and insightful answer, but that relies on the OP's involvement in his own thread. I don't believe he is here seriously asking real questions. These people ruin it for others, because it make me not want to bother with answering people's questions. I'm done with the OP, this is ridiculous.
