    Yup... I never bought one off TV, but a customer gave me one and I have to say it works just like a real Chamise, only cheaper...

    I have signs made out of vinyl, metal what ever is required and the place I get them made some with BO's picture and put them on nickles and quarters they even printed up a COA. They were giving them away. You couldn't believe that people didn't know the ones on TV were the same thing. Most people believed that the BO coins came from the mint not knowing any better. If a disclamer was clearly stated that these coins are not from the mint most people would still buy. They drank too much of the BO koolaid. Ice

    The official inaugural medal is made by a private mint not the US Mint. It's been that way since the very early 20th century.

    isn't "Obama coin" and "rip off" rather redundant?

    Well, I was watching that infomercial last night, and Montel Williams said, act now as there are limited quantities, and will not be available after inaugration day.
    Watch it again (if you don't find it too excrutiating), and watch for that line right at the end.
    It amazes me they can talk 1/2 hr about pure crap.
