<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mkwelbornjr, post: 1098136, member: 17034&quot;]Well one could argue that the general public may like the theme and want a collectible..but they dont have to be seasoned coin collectors. Its like the person who wants an Elvis colorized State Quarter...they may not be idiots buying that item...maybe an Elvis fan...they do exist. Yes I agree with the motive behind NC Mint advertising...but also a company should not be blamed for much of the publics lack of basic knowledge. How do you not know what your nations coins look like. These same people probably can&#039;t even list past presidents...or the basic themes of the constitution. Its like the person that drives through the crossing in front of a speeding train...claiming they though the train could just stop...if they make it that is.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Medals have often been gold plated....it gives the look without the price...what is wrong with that? Does someone really think they are getting solid gold for $25??&nbsp; I dont think you can blame a marketer for that.&nbsp; Plated with gold is a feature of the product that should be touted in the ad. The facts are all there in the ad. Many bronze art medals have been layered with gold...in some ways it looks good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
