HSN "What A Deal"

I swear I saw a coin show a few weeks ago - not sure which - where they offered the last 10 years of lincoln cents in PF70 for $199??? did anyone else see that? I am not sure who the grading company was, but 10 PF70 lincolns for $20 each...was I dreaming? I may have been half asleep....

If you look at reviews it has only a Avg. Customer Rating 2.4 seems to be some problems with holders and some coins and the numbering system from ANACS is different for HSN Coins. Still seems to be a good deal if all is good on coins you receive

 

They are selling for more on eBay

well, sort of...

If you buy more than 1 set from the mint, the Coin Vault price is then higher than the Mint. Coin Vault is comparing their price to the mint price plus shipping. While the Coin Vault doesn't charge you for shipping, they really are on every set!

 

After factoring in the cost to get those coins graded, this guy's profit margins are lower than Danr (who flipped some rolls), yet Dan was lauded by most on here as doing the right thing, yet this person on TV, who is making less margin-wise than Danr, is a bad person? I don't get it.

 

p.s. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, but there seems to be a lack of consistency.

 

HSN has a deal with ANACS so the profit margin is most likely 100% +.

:secret: I also bet that the all came back PF70.

 

Compared to Dan's profit margin, 100% is low.

That said, I'll take that bet. How much would you like to wager?
