<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mkwelbornjr, post: 1644210, member: 17034&quot;]I am only defending selling unique coins at a retail markup.&nbsp; Per-se they don&#039;t develop these coins...but the practice of having exclusives from various world mints has been described in detail on blogs etc.&nbsp; You can do what Franklin Mint did...everything from sketch to manufacture done in-house...and they produced some stunning world coins and medallic items.&nbsp; Better quality than anyone.&nbsp;&nbsp; Or you can do what GovMint/New York Mint does...pitch ideas to mints such as Perth.&nbsp; Spec what you want...then lock in a fixed number to purchase and resell.&nbsp; You leave a few for the mint to sell in other markets so the product is &quot;official.&quot;&nbsp; My only goal in collecting is to purchase cool coins that look great....so I am glad when I see exclusives presented.&nbsp; But the companies I mentioned do not engage in the confusing intense marketing that Goldline does...which is probably the only reason they might get into trouble.&nbsp; If you enter the equation knowing exactly what your gonna get and the only promise being that its a cool coin for an important topic..then there is nothing to lose...if you buy the piece because you really want it.&nbsp; Most of the people who get burned are those who know nothing at all about coins and have unrealistic expectations about getting rich off resale.&nbsp; I have spoken with people that buy $15 coins thinking they can retire one day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
