.........all part of the great "European gold hoard."


This guy Rick is the best snake oil salesman on TV.

The PCGS price guide for MS62 1899 $20 Gold Liberty coins is $3k.

He is selling them for $4,495.

The best part is that they are "Smithsonian Quality." 😂

Did you also know this coin is a 'key date?' 😂




Of note, I checked the listing for the show and noticed it originally aired in October of 2020.

Spot for gold was around $2,600.

How could there possibly be any of these "very rare" coins left??

Who falls for this crap?

    Rick is very slick, like an oil slick. He has several of my Kennedy coins in his book on Franklin and Kennedy half dollars. Now seeing what he's doing now-a-days, I regret allowing my coins to be in his books. He never gave any thanks or a copy of the book. This is also where the first photo of the 1982-P no "FG" Kennedy made it's debut, even before PCGS recognized it as an error and then a variety.

    You only live life once, enjoy it like it's your last day. It just MIGHT be!

    He dramatically illustrates how the 2024 Silver Dollars are Much rarer than the 1893S because the mintage is lower. He hurts my brain to watch.
