AS WE WERE FLIPPING THROUGH THE CHANNELS, WE CAME ACROSS THE "COLLECTORS NIGHT" ON THE AS(AMERICAS SHOPPING) CHANNEL. THESE ARE DIFFERENT COIN FOLKS FROM "COIN VAULT".. TONIGHT I SAW 2 ITEMS THEY WERE OFFERING.1 WAS PROOF SETS FROM 1960-2004 FOR THE LOW LOW, UNBELIEVABLE PRICE OF $1,399.99. THE SECOND ITEM WAS THE BICENTENNIAL SET, HALF,DOLLAR AND QUARTER, CERTIFIED PF69 FOR $129.95 FOR THE 3 ....GAG AND TO THINK THEY DO THIS WITHOUT A GUN !!! BY THE WAY DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THE NEW BUFFALO NICKEL SET WILL BE AVAILABLE LIKE THE CURRENT WESTWARD SET IS ? I LOVE THE NEW BUFFALO DESIGN.
Hey, $1399.99 is a great deal! The Coin Vault people sell that set at $1899.00 (the '56-2004 is $2199)! Of coures, in CV's defense (and we all defend them, don't we?), they DO "throw in" the SMS sets.
This is a subject that gets brought up pretty regularly here. Here is another thread along the same lines: http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=3388 It is sad how many collectors fall into this trap. I'm glad to see that, even though you both are new to the forum, you already know better than to fall for the hype
