Anyone here ever been cold called by Centurion Collectables Inc.

Trying to high pressure sell a "BCGS MS64 1908 first year of issue $2.5 Indian" I only have to give my credit card number for insurance purposes and if I don't like the coin, I can always send it back. "These offers only last about and hour and I don't really have any pics, but all you have to do is get on the
interweb and type in "1908 first year of issue $2.5 Indian" to see what they look like"

    I got cold called by someone for the first time ever, a couple weeks ago trying to sell me rolls of Franklins. "Real nice ones" of course. I was trying to be nice to the guy, he wasnt trying to sell me a credit card and I like talking about coins. I just told him I dont buy rolls of anything. Then he asked me if I was interested in rolls of Mercury dimes. I was in the middle of saying I dont collect rolls of anything and he hung up on me ! How rude image

    At first I thought he said PCGS, but the when he repeated what it stood for, the P didn't sound right. It was muffled or something. So while I had him on the phone, I looked at the "website" and saw BCGS and all became crystal clear. I hung up and he called back, but I didn't answer.

    Wonder if I'm missing a deal of a lifetime?
