I hate that there are so many companies pushing low end coins for princely prices. It's that kind of garbage that gives coin collecting a bad reputation
i recently got old enough and lived at the same address long enough that i get such mail spam now. it's just paper spam. i read it for a laugh then toss it in the bin. good on your dad for knowing what's up
My mom came close to falling for one of these recently. She at least remembered that I collect coins and asked me about the ad first. Unfortunately one of my friends didn't ask, and paid triple for a set of Morgan dollars. Came in a nice box, but easily triple what it should have cost (box included).
My friend's father used to buy those kinds of sets years back from inserts in the Sunday newspaper. It's sad because his daughter has them now and they are still not worth what he paid.
Hi Ben. I live in Canada and get that rubbish in my mail all the time from scammers in Canada and the U.S.. My 93 year old father gets them as well and I have to tell him all the time it's a scam.
What a crazy scam. My uncle got caught up in a similar one from American mint. The problem with them was it wasn't even coins, but gold and silver plated medals. He only paid about 70 dollars a piece for their junk.
I would hope that people would wise up to this scam. How about calling them while blocking your calling number or making a call from a public telephone? If there's no disclaimer in the ad I would ask the person answering the call for specific dates/mintmarks of coins they will never send. Need a rare Barber dime? Ask for an 1894-S. Need a rare V Nickel? Ask for a 1913. Need a rare Indian penny? Ask for an 1877 or a 1909-S.

You mean boomer shit😂
Stuff like that gets repackaged into their own self reply envelope and mail back to them at their expense.
It's time to form the antiscammer posse!

You sure that's NOT Littleton ? It sure sounds like the garbage they put into their magazine.

Scams like this are the main reason I don't recommend coin collecting to others, Also with gold and silver.
Thanks Ben

Hey Ben
Hi Ben
Where’s Donald?
*MERRY CHRISTMAS, DP*

Happy Holidays anyway. Our group has different traditions and a different Chief but we tolerate most Christians in spite of themselves.
