<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 535307, member: 4626&quot;]Before you spend any money on any coin, educate yourself... this is so blatantly a violation of common sense to spend any money of this kind of thing that I just can&#039;t muster any sympathy for the people stupid enough to waste their money on this junk.&nbsp; Duh, what did you think you were getting?&nbsp; Takes all of a few seconds to figure out this is not an official US Mint product.</p><p><br /></p><p>Almost have to admire how they&#039;re carefully advertised in a way that is technically true but can mislead the uneducated.&nbsp; &quot;These images are placed on official coins produced by the US Mint.&quot;&nbsp; Technically true... the half dollars and quarters are official US Mint products... that this company then puts cheap Obama stickers on.&nbsp; Are they genuine coins?&nbsp; Yes... they&#039;re genuine coins with stickers placed on them, so can&#039;t get them there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Will avoid making any political comments about how it&#039;s a bit premature to commemorate the historical legacy of a president who&#039;s only been in office a little more than a month, but people should realize the obvious fact that the Mint doesn&#039;t put out official authorized coins commemorating presidents still in office (well, to be fair, they did that once, with the 150th anniversary of independece dollar in 1926, that depicted Coolidge... but that&#039;s the exception not the rule, and it wasn&#039;t Coolidge that was being directly honored).&nbsp; And if they don&#039;t, I have no sympathy for those who get ripped off by rediculously obvious scams like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Likely the only genuine and authorized US Mint product depicting Obama that will be released anytime soon will be his inaugaral medal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
