I met a guy once and swore up and down that yeah he was he was just being a real coin collector all the stuff.. he went and bought a whole bunch of gimmick stuff off of coin vault television, and one day he invites me over just to take a look at his collection and see what he's got trying to impress me... I swear to you I took one look at the garbage that he had it was like gold coated/plated coins and these tribute sets and stuff and I was like I'm sorry but you got your money stolen from you all these things are worthless except for the face value that they're at and even if you did melt the gold off of them you'd ruin the coins
I did what any self respecting numismatists would do offer him a few books and tell h read up... Learn what to buy when you see it .. cause you wasted 5-600 on this tribute sets..l and gold coated loljust no...
It's like he wanted one of my world trade center American silver eagles I have 3 I said to him convince me to sell it
