[QUOTE="silver surfer, post: 65568, member: 3235"]I made the mistake of buying coins from the TV hucksters not once but twice back when I was just getting into the hobby and didn't know any better. Luckily they were low priced items because the resale value amounts to about 10% of the price I paid. The coins i bought were a five coin set of V nickels for 25$, worth about 1-2 $ a piece and the other were the infamous gold plated state quarter’s (first year) worth 1.25(face value). When I see these coins still sitting around in my collection it bugs me to think that I didn't do a little research before spending my hard earned money. It's not really the 60$ I blew but the fact that I was duped that bothers me. Oh well lesson learned OK it's also the 60 bucks since that could have paid for a nice BU morgan, a couple of proof sets or one of the walkers i need to complete my set.[/QUOTE]
