[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1625627, member: 75105"]I got some random advertisements in the mail today. One is from Nationwide Coin and Bullion Reserve. They are selling a 1/10oz gold AGE for only $172. Then you flip over to read the back.... "Price subject to change due to fluctuation in gold market". Then another one from "American Historical Society". Offering "All 50 state quarters for FREE". Then if you read the full offer on their website, you have to pay $24.95 to preview ONE COIN, then they mail the rest for $5 shipped. So when it's all said and done, you paying just about $30 for $12.50 worth of quarters. Also enclosed where the usual "hooks" from Littleton Coin and Mystic Stamp. All I can say is...I hope whoever gets these ads read up on the companies, before getting burnt. It's a shame that in numismatics, there are just as many rip-off companies as there are legitimate ones.[/QUOTE]
