[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3766137, member: 99642"]Hey guys, it's called HYPE. Whether it's property, jewelry, coins or cars, you talk UP the selling points to get the best price you can for it. Another name for it is Hucksterism. Surely these guys hyping these coins are just like the hucksters selling snake oil. Well, at least similar. The coins do have some intrinsic metal value. At best, the snake oil might have had some alcohol in it. There was a "Cure-All Elixer" being sold back in the '40's called Hadacol. Basically it was just vitamins and flavored alcohol. They made a lot of money until the Gubmint stepped in and shut them down for bootlegging and not paying taxes. Just another example of Hype and Hucksterism.
