<p>[QUOTE="bzcollektor, post: 65552, member: 3241"]I must disagree about avoiding advice on this subject. Plated coins will never be anything other than souvenier type coins. No collecter value. Waste of money. When the newbies eventially discover that they spent a lot of money on near worthless coins, I can`t help but think the vast of them majority will be soured on the hobby. Collect plated coins???? You might as well collect pocket lint, or different colored stones you pick up off the ground.</p><p><br /></p><p>I intentsly dislike the unethical TV hucksters. I know who they are. The guy on HSN and the main figure on Shop@H used to be on the same show. Along with another outright crook that the Shop@H network still deals with (hmmm, choo-choo merc dimes). Can you say Tennessee? These guys do massive damage to the hobby. I believe they are sucking so much certified material (as in NGC Silver and Gold Eagles, NGC Morgans, NGC Modern Commems) off the market at inflated buy/sell prices, that when the newbies realize that they have been beat and decide to unload, we may be in for a major market correction on at least these things. It may take a year or 3. These guys hawked Princess Diana Beanies for $299. You can buy them now for like 10 cents a pound. They helped ruin the sportscard market in the early 90`s, along with another certified crook from Cherry Hill NJ.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
