<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ROBERT THOMASON, post: 2603272, member: 84116&quot;]IMO, all the TV ads, including the cable coin sellers, are scams. They hype a lot of common junk and pull in a big profit for themselves, and then when the &#039;lucky buyers&#039; take the time to check it out, they feel that all dealers are crooks. These hype artists give the whole coin industry a black eye. Again, this is only my opinion.....</p><p>They also use terms like &#039;in very fine to uncirculated condition&#039; and they show an unc. coin, but the vast majority of them are circulated common dates.</p><p>PS.... The &#039;US mint&#039; never finds such things. (Not since the GSA sales of the 1970&#039;s, anyway).</p><p>The ads usually use phrases like &#039;The Government Mint&#039; (which would actually be the name of the company selling the coins) or others that sound &#039;official&#039; to the uneducated viewer. They appeal to peoples&#039; greed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
