Message:: [QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 8545513, member: 73489"]The 1908 No Motto is a common coin in MS-65, even up to MS-67. That coin link is for an MS-64 coin like the TV show is selling and is offering it for $2,250....which means it's $1,250 LESS than the TV show. I don't see how the TV show's price of $3,500 is a bargain when your link to Apmex for $2,250 is available. THAT'S the FMV, IM. No, I think the show is great....and I understand he has to cover his costs and make a profit....the problem is the sour taste it may leave in some people's mouths if they buy TOO MANY coins at inflated prices. 1 or 2 coins, if you learn, yeah, you can live with it.  But buying too many inflated coins at high prices is what hurt this hobby in 1980 and 1990.  I know, I dealt with many of those people trying to re-build their finances. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I do too, IM.  This isn't a critique of the message or the man or the TV show. I'm just concerned for those whose ONLY KNOWLEDGE of these coins will be from that site and then maybe buy ALL THEIR GOLD EXPOSURE at a 50% premium to FMV. And again....maybe Rick isn't even making any profit$$.  But the cost of the program and TV ad time necessitates that 50% markup which is HUGE. Again...if someone buys 1 or 2 or a small portion of the $$$ they want to spend in this hobby and learn from paying an inflated price....no harm, no foul in the long run. But is that happening ?  I don't know.[/QUOTE]
