<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2525393, member: 17665"]No, not that I know of and I'm not going to call. These two prominent people behind this obvious rip off should both know better than to be associated with anything this misleading. They are just barely under the wire/gray area in the truth in advertising laws. The term Granny/Grampy bait is really appropriate here, especially if the buyer has no knowledge of coins.This appeals to the unknowing with all the hype and misleading numbers, to folks looking to buy a nice gift for someone who does, or may be collecting coins and just starting out. I get these and other ads in the mail on almost a daily basis. My main reason for posting the way I did was because I wanted everyone to join in on this and hopefully some younger/new collectors might read the thread and learn, rather than by me just saying so. In a way, I was a bit misleading doing it this way but this has turned out well and I appreciate everyone's input. Thank you all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
