<p>[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 1138237, member: 4791"]I agree Matt.. probably kick it off the back tailgate of a pickup and it would open. I just purchased a collection and in it were about 200 Morgans, Several "special Limited edition" books full of this companies garbage. State Quarters glued to pretty cardboard, Presidential Dollars TAPED to cardboard, etc.. The guy did ok on the Morgans. He paid almost 9 grand for his collection of Painted Quarters, books with Prez Dollars and state quarters, and a few other odds and ends from this and other companies.. on the 9 Grand investment. He netted $233.25. I told him to use the cardboard for a fire starter and spend the coins. Seen receipts where he paid $17.95 + $2.00 shipping PER PAGE.. he netted .25 cents for a circulated state quarter. I did keep a few of them as I am going to give a talk at the local coin club on how seniors are being targeted by these types of sellers. This guy actually thought he was buying from the US Government. The TV shops are no better, they are targeting the same group.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wonder how long its going to take for people to realize Santa Claus does not collect coins nor control the market, its being ran by big fish in the sea with huge teeth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
