<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1343224, member: 13650"]It will be tough for these people to win in court. I've heard their adds a thousand times if I've heard them once. I even listened to their podcasts for a couple years. I never bought from them but I can see what they were doing. They did advertise that coins would have a numismatic premium and that gold is typically a 5 to 10 year investment before you see a return. They've always been pretty clear about this. They also probably brought up the chance of govt. confiscation coming back and nudged people into buying the numismatic stuff more than the bullion. Which may be less likely to get confiscated. (But who knows? I don't know if I buy that it would come back for anything, that numismatics would be excluded, or that anybody would comply these days, but....thats another argument.) They talked about this occasionally.</p><p><br /></p><p> I agree that their numismatic stuff was over-priced, but what stopped all these "investors" from doing research? How was I able to know that you could get the same stuff on ebay for far cheaper? Even graded. I don't have any insider knowledge. </p><p><br /></p><p> I'm happy with Goldline. All they've done for me is provide news and entertaining podcasts. Also got two free 1964 Kennedy halves in slabs for free, just for calling the radio show a couple years back. They send a free info package with them and they don't bother you after that. Don't think they do it anymore. Still have the halves stored away with their friends. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
