Please don't pay any attention to any television coin salesmen. I will say, without hesitation, that if you buy from them you will pay a very significant markup over normal retail coin prices. Take your time, read some books (your local library may be a good source if you don't want to shell out cash initially), and feel free to come chat with us on CoinTalk any time you want. The people here, while sometimes having widely-varied opinions, are a good source of knowledge, and are generally willing to help. We would like very much to see your pictures to help you ascertain what you have.
While sometimes entertaining, buying coins from TV salesmen is not a good way to add to your collection. In short, you will pay way too much money. Steer clear of these snake oil doctors....especially the fat one named Bob.
I wouldn't exactly call Littleton a "ripoff". Their coins are overpriced BUT they do not overgrade their coins.
