<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 3329057, member: 89393&quot;]snip</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">In some sort of redemption, I would like to mention a TV advertisement </font>that<font size="3"> I have seen only once, and it had to do with Morgan Dollars for cheap. The ad said that one could buy a BU/UNC Morgan dated somewhere between 1879 and 1900 for $19.99 plus shipping. Heck, I thought to myself, twenty bucks for a Morgan in BU/UNC sounds like a decent deal, and HALF what Mister Mike Mezak wants for his random year Morgans, so what the hey, let&#039;s get one.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3">They mentioned a URL in their TV ad, so I jotted it down and went to the site the next morning. Seeing as the next morning was MLK day, I figured nothing would be happening, so I knew not to expect anything in the form of a shipping acknowledgement, so I let this aspect of it go then forgot about it. </font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3">The web page noted the name of the actual dealer, but I have forgotten it meanwhile, but the site given in the ad was <b>realmorgans dot com</b>, and when you get there the first thing you notice is a warning that the site would close down in seven days—probably not true, but... There were options that allowed you to order from one to five coins, with reduced shipping for each additional coin you ordered. There are written instructions for how to return your coin(s) if you are not satisfied with your purchase. So far, so good.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3">The next day I received an acknowledgement email with an order # on it, but no tracking, so I replied that I would like to have a tracking # if available; one was sent within a few hours. I checked this morning and their parcel is &quot;out for delivery.&quot;</font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3">Twenty bucks with an offer for a return with no questions asked for a BU/UNC Morgan of just about any year is a good deal, especially for those beginning their collections. I don&#039;t think they will do such things as make sure you get different years if you order more than one coin, but I&#039;m hoping that the coin that will be arriving later today is worth a reorder for three or four more. The page does specify that only a few thousand of these coins are available, so there might not be any more out there to buy. In fact, I don&#039;t know if the page is still live, that&#039;s up to anyone who&#039;s interested to discover for his self.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
