[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 8199675, member: 73489"]Well, technically they're not wrong. The coins WERE shipped overseas for trade settlements. But they've been coming over for decades, not just in the last few years (though some recent hoards have increased from Europe I have read). The stories told on those infomercials aren't bad in stimulating interest in the coins...the problem is the coins are marked-up so I am afraid folks might get a bad taste in their mouths if they keep buying at 25-35% markups above full retail price.[/QUOTE]
