<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jloring, post: 622036, member: 15518&quot;]Don&#039;t interpret this as being rude... what BadThad means is that the Franklin Mint, HSN, etc, target an audience of non-collectors with their sales pitch. I was thinking about getting back into collecting during the 70&#039;s when I saw an ad in a national magazine for a type set of 20th Century coins. The pictures looked great, and I think the price was around $199.99 (four or five easy payments). Of course there was no internet or CT back then to ask if this was a good deal. One thing for sure, those old coins sure did shine! Well worn, but polished enough to make any drill instructor proud. I sold the whole collection, case and all, at a yard sale (about 15 years ago) for fifty bucks (and happy to get it).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
