    i hope this isn't an inappropriate posting ...

    I have no ties to this company - it's just a way to get a free silver dime.

    I heard on the radio yesterday to call a toll free # to get a gold investing kit and receive a free mercury dime. I called the #, talked to a real person, asked for the investment kit and free silver dime, gave my address and now I wait. I didn't have to give my phone #.

    Rosland Capital, Phone # 1-800-461-1247.

    Yes the brochure appears cost free, yet nothing is truly 'free'. This is a marketing gimmick to get a chance to sell to you.

    Two bucks is chump change when you're trying to collect "live" leads. They may be figuring that people who jump at a "free" Mercury might be more likely to jump at whatever they're pitching.

    They used to offer Silver Dollars...until the price of silver rose above $20/oz.

    Liddy from Wiki.

    Yes and funny to be hawking precious metals after Nixon helped take the US entirely off the gold standard in that era...

    I heard it on the radio but didn't get the number. I'm keeping the dime and the kit is going right in the trash. It is a pretty smart way to lure people in. Free Merc.

    If they are anything like Universal Coin and Bullion (who I got a 'free' slabbed MS Jefferson Golden Dollar from) they will now call you on a monthly basis with $10,000+ investment opportunities. (Regardless of the number of times you tell them to never call again) "There is no such thing as a free lunch."

    They didn't mind when I didn't want to give them my phone number. They will mail me things, but they'll go in the recycling bin. It's worth a silver dime to me.

    Often such offers are tied to implied consent to enter one into an "approval" category, where they ship stuff at their initiative, and you either have to pay or ship back at your expense. If one normally receives unsolicited goods in the mail , you can discard, but approval accounts are not unsolicited and if discarded and are the responsibility of the recipient. I don't know if this is such, but it wouldn't surprise me. Be cautious.Think Littleton stamps and coins.

    Desertgem, you have confirmed what I thought about a flier with the presidential coins and guess who it was from? Littleton! My wife brought to me a newspaper add, and I told her the same thing you told everyone else! Thank You...

    Buyer Beware! I'm truly afraid that you have just entered yourself into the bullion spammer list. Good Luck with that!
