Four people bidding on a worthless medal with just pennies worth of gold plating all for just $39.00.

Much better to spend thousands on pennies worth of copper-nickel.

Just goes to show that people will buy anything. BTW, isn't it illeagal to make a coin replica without putting the word COPY on the thing somewhere???

Won't catch me doing that either.

I'll just bet there was a box of these in Harold's estate.

Petescorner

LMAO

Where's the word "copy"? I thought they are required by the hobby law of 1977 to indicate it is a replica. Ahh, I see, no denomination listed. Very clever.

HMMMMMM

dbldie55

They were bidders on the real one too.

Cam40

I was going to mention that too.No COPY stamped on it anywhere.Then I thought,They must be getting away with(out) that because it has no denomination on it.I guess thats why they can make these this way.
Yes ,Very clever indeed.

jtryka

There is no denomination, and the "E Pluribus Unum" is in the wrong spot (it's where the denomination should be).

If this is the same item that they advertise on TV, they very carefully dance around the fact that this thing is gold platted over base metal. I think that’s what “gold clad” means. Yes, I think these things are really sleazy. And I think they skirted the Hobby Protection Act by replacing the denomination with “E Pluribus Unum.” That makes it less than an exact copy.

BTW I think this Ebay seller might be one of the few people in the world who has made money on this thing in something like the secondary market. I think they are selling this for $19.95 plus shipping on TV.

Russ

<< <i>There is a strict limit of five Proofs per customer. >>



Tell that to the poor lady and her son that walked through my door needing to sell some because they accidentally bought way too many. At least in their case they only paid the original $19.95.

… Yes, but remember that this 1933 Proof double eagle was produced to be sold at $39.95, but through this special off you can get it for just $19.95.

If you believe that story, you must have just dropped off a potato truck. But given the fact that I’ve seen this ad numerous times, I guess there are a lot of potato trucks with big holes in them in the USA.

jhar

Russ someone tried to sell you some of these? What did they think that they were???
