Does anybody really collects coins?

1. Buy a new printing of A Guide Book of United States Coins by R.S. Yeoman, published by Whitman. Almost every book store has one. It is commonly referred to as The Official Red Book.

2. Do NOT buy any coin from the television.

3. After looking though The Official Red Book, decide what interests you. Then come back and ask questions.

My Proof Wisconsin Quarter costs me $1.50. My 1806 MS53 cost a LOT more and my 1796 costs a barrelfull of those Wisconsin Quarters...LOL

 

I watch the coin vault and that's it, QVC and HSN all sell coins over priced. I sat in front of the TV with a Red Book and searching the Internet while they are showcasing what they have and they are way overpriced, It was disgusting.

No. Asking an excessive amount for an item, even amounts well over what it can be purchased for elsewhere, is not in and of itself deceiptful or even unethical. What may make it so depends on what representations they make about the value/price of the coin. I find that the TV programs are usually very good at staying just on the right side of proper action. We may not like the fact that they charge so much but that doesn't make them "crooks".
