Coin Vault Customer Service 1-800-359-1515 / FCC 1-888-225-5322

Can't take it anymore - as clervgreg mentioned in another thread, they just said the 2pc set was sold out within 20 minutes. This after saying the 3pc Gold was sold out in 20 minutes. I called up to complain about this blatant lie and of course the supervisor could nothing but give me the customer service number. I told her she better tell the boys to watch it or they'd be in a whole heap o' trouble. I'm calling the FCC tomorrow.

Updated: the FCC told me to call the FTC, which I did. As did clevergreg. See below.

FTC: 877-382-4357

So I called the FCC and they said call the FTC, which I did and filed a complaint. If anyone cares, their number is 877-382-4357. Be prepared to wade through some button pushing before you get to a human being. They suggested I file a complaint with the Mint as well, which I did. The Mint was very surprised to hear that their A10's and A11's were sold out. Also emailed Shop at Home notifying them of my actions. Updates to follow.

Good for you. I also contacted the FTC, the US Mint , Shop at Home TV management, and Robert Chambers personally, well at least through an email.

Mr. Chambers,

I had the opportunity to watch your presentation on the 20th Anniversary Eagle coinage last night. I have a couple of comments/questions;

1. You stated repeatedly that the 2 coin Silver Eagle and Gold Eagle sets were sold out. I am sure that you are aware that they are NOT sold out.

2. You stated repeatedly that the 3 piece Silver Eagle set was sold out. Once again, I am sure that you know that they are NOT.

3. You referenced mintage numbers on the Uncirculated W mintmarked Silver and Gold Eagle coins that are patently false. The W Mintmark coins will be available TODAY at 12:00 eastern on the US Mint website, and will be minted to demand.

I will be forwarding this information to the appropriate trade commissions that have, or potentially have, jurisdiction in this matter.

I hereby ask you to cease and desist from making any false statements regarding the mintage numbers of the 2006 W $1 Silver Eagle Uncirculated coin, as well as the 2006 W Gold $50 Uncirculated coin.

I also ask that you contact all persons who may have ordered these items and provide them with the correct information so they have a better opportunity to make an educated purchasing decision.

In my opinion, your pricing of the $1 W Silver Eagle at $299, as well as the issues I mentioned previously, are a detriment to the numismatic community.

Sincerely,

Greg Drude

Well done!! Gotta put at least a little heat on them - at least we can say we tried.

I think they are all sold out and the mint is just not announcing it.

Have any been issued yet by the MINT?

I would have sworn that I heard Robert Chambers one night make the statement that he doesn't pimp, I mean sale coins that he doesn't have in his possession. Was he selling the three coin Silver?

I'm pretty sure the only silver coin shown was a UNC, from a 2 coin set.

As dorkbar said in a previous thread a few nights ago;



<< <i>Watching Coin Vault... It's late, so I've got the closed captioning on:

"You won't find these anywhere but Crime Vault." >>




Pretty appropriate if you ask me.

Sure it wasn't a regular UNC Silver Eagle that i believe has been available since the beginning of January?

I did not see them selling the A10's, but they were hyping them and saying they were sold out at the mint.

And there's no way the mint is sold out of A11's - especially with all the returns
