<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 559920, member: 17665"]I t becomes more aggravating every year as more and more non coin delaers attempt to sell their coin wares to unsuspecting novices. This past Christmas season I recieved one particular catalog from Heartland America, who's main products are a bit of everything but all at liquidation prices. They sell home goods, electronics, car stuff,etc.,etc. But they also sell a lot of coins also. The prices are laughably outrageous and descriptions border on false advertizing, if not completely false. For instance, a complete set of Eisenhower Dollars...their idea od complete is 21 coins, when we all know that a complete set is over 30 coins.There are numerous examples and for ha ha's you should check them out online.</p><p> Another is Things You Never Knew Existed by the Johnson Smith Co. If I had the time I would be writing formal complaints to the Attorney generals Office. These companies should be banned from selling coins altogether just for their bogus ad gimmicks. Has anyone seen any of this? What have been your experiances? Have you reported any of them? Just curious as to what anyone might feel about this type of marketing.:hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
