Did anyone see First American Numismatics' challenge in CW?

The First American Numismatics (Robert Hughes) ad says if you give them a want list with a minimum of six rare US coins including patterns, they will find at least one of them for you within six months or pay you $100 cash. You get to specify grades.

Doesn't say you are obligated to buy, but I guess making the coin available for you to purchase satisfies the challenge.

Very interesting marketing ploy...I'll pass.

If I thought they were good for $100, I would spend the time to stump them.

I think I could stump them. Just look through the pop reports and pick all the zeroes

Of course if you have a speciality area and combine your knowledge with the pop reports you should be able to come up with a list of coins that are virtually non-existant.

Everything's for sale for a price... they'll probably just find something that's massively expensive, and then there's no way you'll buy.

Has anyone taken this challenge?

Several months ago they folded their tent and moved on to a new location and use a different company name.....I would think that the offer is no longer valid....................

First American Numismatics does not exist anymore.

If you win the challenge, be sure to take the $100 in cash. Then wait 10 days for the cash to clear before trying to spend it. Dave W
