<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bobbeth87, post: 655941, member: 18369&quot;]Over the weekend, a friend of my Brother in law wanted to sell their coins.&nbsp; I took a look at them and they were all the TV packaged coins with circulated Ikes and Sacs and Mercs, packaged in plastic with various themes.&nbsp; The marketing is both brilliant and tragic.&nbsp; Of the 30 or so encased mini collections (3 to 4 coins each), there were only about 4 coins with any numismatic value (mercs in EF to AU).&nbsp; I offered $45 for the whole thing and I&#039;m sure they spent hundreds and hundreds for these.&nbsp; It was sad.&nbsp; This was an elderly woman doing all of the purchases.&nbsp; The offer wasn&#039;t taken.&nbsp; Had I gotten it, I would have just broken up the collections and spent the Sacs, etc. and kept just a couple of the silver coins and come out slightly over even.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sad....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
