Seriously? Did they print that right over Kennedy's face or what? Yeh, the guy was a cultural icon, but printing his image on a coin and selling it for profit? uggg

Well it seems the seller sells a lot of garbage and refers to it as collectables.

Expect a LOT more.

 

Absitively, posilutly gross.

 

Anything for a buck.

 

As a person I thought Michael Jackson was disgusting!
He had merit as an entertainer though.

 

NOt even in the same league as JFK. What people will do to make a dollar.. Like Clembo said we will see alot of this to come just like the Obama dollar.. I wonder if Montel will be shucking these out to the public... lol lol

 

Absolute tosh.......

 

We need to stop the distribution of this crap before it spreads...plain and simple

 

Wtf? Gross

:headbang:YES! I agree with you, really bad taste. Hey now that this is made, where's my OJ nickel, John Wayne Gacey Dime, John Wilkes Booth Penny, and my Jeffrey Dahmer Quarter? I can see it now, lets celebrate disgusting people, forget about people that deserve a place in history on our curency, lets give it to the scum of the earth. :eat:

 

I wished Michael could rest in peace but that does not look that is going to happen anytime soon. Michael was very talented man who, like many other entertainers , had problems dealing with this lifestyle. I can not even begin to imagine what it is like.

I have a question. Can people just slap a picture of a person on a coin and sell these without permission of that person or the estate?

 

Those idiots just stick a thin piece of plastic to the Kennedy Half just like they did with the Obama coins.

Don't even look at it or some poor soul will waste his/her money on it. You know the old saying...."a fool and his money are soon parted."

 

Just more garbage like the OBAMA coins, and I guarantee these will be on TV, can't wait till' HSN has em'!
What everybody needs to understand is this, we can say he was a good entertainer, and he was, well he wasn't just good, HE WAS AMAZING, but as a person, he was trash.

 

......how 'bout this one.

 

Trash selling trash to trash as far as I'm concerned.
Try to ignore it,in a few weeks it'll be gone.

 

Now that's funny!

Someone will make a fortune on these MJ gold plated coins. If you had the ability to produce these types of collectible pieces and it cost you 75 cents each (50 cents for the coin) would you make them and sell them for profit?:bigeyes:

I think it's pretty rough you lumping Michael Jackson in with murderers, serial killers and Presidential assassins. He was found not guilty of the charges against him and regardless of how "creepy" he may have seemed thanks to the media's depiction of him (and granted some unusual behavior on his part) the fact is that he made a huge contribution to music across the world and actually put a lot of his time and money into charity organizations to help the poor and needy.

I'm not saying he deserves a coin (certainly not this one) but calling him the scum of the earth is the only really bad taste I see here.

Now if you were talking about a Phil Spector coin being released I could understand...

 

Also, the MJ coin looks like the sort of thing that the Morgan Mint product. They've done them in the past for Elvis and Marilyn Monroe - but it seems too early even for them to be putting something like this out...

 

Gee I wish I had though of it.... I will not speak ill of the dead! They cannot defend them selves..... However I do wish after hearing the first news release of Michael not breathing I had jumped on e bay and purchased every item I could afford. As any artist their passing makes a field day for those who wish to profit. To many it might not be right, but I have always felt that anything you do to make a legal buck to support your self or your family is nothing to be ashamed of! end of story. Paddy

 

srry about the lumping MJ received frm me, lol

I didn't really meen it to sound as bad as it did, but those were the bad names that stuck out for the post i did, no he wasnt found guilty officially, but all the dirty laundry is starting to get hung out for the public to view, little by little each day, so only time will tell how guilty or innocent he really is. And yes EBAY thriller is going for 2,000 or so sealed, off the wall like 900, dolls a few hun, he double hockey sticks, newspapers about the day he died going for 10-100, so if you coiners have a lull in ur sales, better jump on this while the flame is hot. And I have an excellent site that searches missspeled words (catch that? lol) but it gave me like 50 diff ways to spell a couple things on this subject. Again I didn't mean to offend as bad as I did I'm sure, I like this community and don't wan't a bad mark. So if you want a great ebay tool or 2 let me kno if i post, or PM me if it's not ok, BTW... coppercoin.com in the links is EXCELLENT!!!!! as im sure alot of those are, but it's really good, and all those links add up to months of new content to dive into. Thanks for posting all the link sites every1 did. I bookmarked that thread right away. hya:

 

I actually believe they have a form of false advertising here too, to add insult to injury. The coin has a digital image over the coin, rather than a real stamp of the coin with Michael Jackson on it.
