    Dimm,

    Welcome to the boards image

    ... in a nutshell ... NOT ... picked over, overgraded and WAY over priced ... 999 times out of a 1000

    If you are new to collecting, I'd say to buy a book or two about some coins you are interested in ... ask a lot of questions ... look at some coins in person and online ... ask more questions ... but keep your money tight for a while, and take your time learning. In the long run, I think you'll be happier, and your collection will be healthier

    Just my two bits worth ...

    Welcome to the forums. I would not buy anything from them. I saw part of their 25hr Coin show Fri and Sat. I watch it for entertainment. Although they do sell NGC, PCGS, and govt packaged sets/coins, they are overpriced by a long shot. They seem to push the SS Republic coins and the devut of the Fitzgerald hoard. IMO, a bunch of hype.

    Remember it's not how you pick your nose that matters, it's where you put the boogers.

    If they have enough to sell on TV can it be rare? No!

    If they can afford TV can it be cheap? No!

    Shop at home's fun to watch but that's about it. They sell the red book but use some imanginary book to look up the price they quote. Don't buy unless you have 100 years to break even.
    Just my two cents worth,
