TV - The Coin Vault

I have Dish, and they, along with the knife show, share channel 225 at night. (6pm - 6am) I believe they pay Dish, and similarly DirectTV, for airtime. On regular cable, I think they can be seen on ION when it goes off air at night. I watch them too as they are entertaining, and honestly they do seem to know a lot about coins. The knife show gets more airtime and nights than the coin show but it varies throughout the year. The current Coin Vault is the result of it merging with another coin show called the Coin Shopping Network.

Their prices are high, very high, compared to almost any other source but what they do offer is access to a lot of coins and collections of coins that might be difficult to find outside of a lot of trips to coin shows and dealers. They must be doing something right as they have been on the air for some time now. If you don't mind the pricing, I think you can safely buy from them.

Believe it or not, at today's prices that's more than a dollar's worth of gold.

So let's see - take a coin worth <$1, plate it with $1.25 worth of gold, and sell it for big bucks. Yeah, they sure do "know what they're doing".

But hey, gotta do something to pay the high cost of TV advertising.

 

And how much would it cost to extract / recapture that gold?

 

I hate them there over priced ! I will not buy from a coin show TV that just crazy!!!!

 

My point, exactly!

 

Ugh them and HSN coin collector on Direct Tv they always say stuff about their ALL RED OAK PRESENTATION BOX..OMG WHO CARES we just want coins and they will pitch the price using that stupid box and colorized quarters too.

 

i have to admit...the box is nice

i will probably never get one, because of the price. it aint worth what they want. i also don't think i would support that show, buying from them. they probably laugh at all the suckers that order..

 

LOL i know its solid red oak...(im knocking on my desk right now):hammer:

 

There are plenty of vendors online that sell similar boxes. Just do some Google searches!

 

The Coin Vault can be entertaining at times, just depending what they are showing. It's sad there isn't an actual coin show (at least that I'm aware of) and the only way to see anything coin related is to watch this and similar shows. I've never bought anything from the Vault or any other show, but sometimes they have some neat stuff. The auction network (I forget their exact name), they have some coin/paper money up on there for sale that seems somewhat decent price, especially compared to the coin infomercials.

 

you don't understand how cheap i am. i can and have talked myself out of buying food to save some money. probably still have communion money!

i know coin collecting and being cheap are not a good combo, but i justify it because i am spending money for money. even though it aint close to face value, i pretend it is:rolling:

but buying boxes is easy to talk myself out of. i really need some more flips so i guess i have spend some money

 

I actually watch this show a lot, usually as I drift off to sleep. I find it interesting and educational. I haven't bought from them though, because their prices are a bit high, with the exception of proof and mint sets when they're brand new. I might buy those from them next time.

 

Yes it is a entertaining show and the information is somewhat reliable it,s
Just the prices there getting wrong!!

 

Yes the gold plated quarters are about the sleaziest and funniest coins they sell on there. I don't know how them idiots keep straight faces while they fill the airwaves with outright lies to sell those sets. It's amusing to watch them giving their diatribe on why the public needs to jump at the chance to buy them. Slick as not with an s.

They are for the most part ripoffs, plain and simple. I don't know if they still do this but their postage and handling fee is $18.95 across the board. It's good entertainment but nothing more!! :kewl:

Be extremely careful about buying from these so called coin vault discoveries. If the coins are genuine, they are way overpriced from what you could get the same thing from a dealer, or at a coin show, for.

A lot of those "coin vault" hordes, are cheap copies of geniune U.S. Mint produced coinage.

The biggest farce is the $50 gold Buffalo clad proof for $19.95 plus $4.95 shipping and handling.

This is not any proof by the Mint's standards and quality control, it's a copy of the genuine article the Mint branch at West Point produces, and the amount of gold(plate mind you) is worth about $1.20 give or take a few pennies.

When I was younger, I was duped into buying the Desert Storm coins, bought two of them, that I was under the impression were genuine U.S. Mint commems. However, they were made in the Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory or something, and were the crappiest looking things you ever saw.

A $45 lesson for a young collector.

 

What most of us on this forum don't understand is that there is a whole big population of people who regularly watch and buy from these TV shows -- who don't think like we do. They love the hype and the excitement of the purchase. Even if they knew the same product was available somewhere else at a lower price, without the hype, the fancy boxes, and excitement, most wouldn't be interested. Of course, the marketers are expert at getting to this kind of buyer and gaining a "personal" relationship with them. They know that people like us aren't buying, and don't care. They don't need us.

It should be considered that most of the people who buy from these TV coin shows are perfectly happy and satisfied with their purchases. They don't know or care to learn that there might be other sources of the products.

First cousins to the TV coin shows are the various "mint" catalogs, which have the same hype and high prices. I bought a little something from one of them at one time and now I regularly get about five different catalogs. I actually enjoy them. They are beautiful, entertaining, and often educational.

 

:hammer: i agree .but we do enjoy looking.:goofer:

 

Nah, I like watching them late at night if I can't sleep and there is nothing else on. It gives me a laugh.
