I want one of each but they are so hard to find at a reasonable price now. On eBay unopened box of 4 for $500.00 I hated to but I put in a bid of $400.00 and got denied. Asking big bucks but I don’t think they will get it. Thing is who knows if the box has been opened and re glued and there was so many defects on these coins I’m just not willing to pay $125.00 a coin for a defect. Just a little more money I could buy a rated 69 coin and I would rather have mine in the coin box it was sent in. This coin sold for $34.95 and $400.00 wasn’t worth it to the guy. I didn’t think so. Glad he didn’t except. I will spend it on something better.

Mezack gets away with his HSN coin show lies simply because the US Mint basically doesn’t give a damn what dealers do with coins they buy from them as Jeppson stated at the 2015 ANA coin show. They only go after counterfeiters with their Secret Service partners. Also, HSN is the second largest television shopping network in the world & has some top lawyers on staff & on retainer. Also, the uneducated people who buy coins from HSN don’t realize they are being ripped off till they go to sell their collection maybe 10-20 years later & are too embarrassed to file an official FTC complaint &.they aren’t going to spend more money to hire a lawyer either (my Living Trust lawyer charges $350 per hour & he is worth every cent! )
I honestly don’t see how Mike Mezack sleeps at night, except from being tired from running to the bank multiple times a day to make deposits of his ill-gotten gains!

Seth, thanks, I was watching HSN & Mike The Liar touting a set ofr Prez$ he stated, except for the last 3 no more are avialable they are “non existent” & very rare, like the FDR or Ike dollar…..well kiddies Hoover and up are stil @ mint site, you can buy rolls, bags of Ike, etc. Such a blatent lie, why don’t the FEds or MINT or FTC go after him> HUH can we say quid pro quo…..he is scratching a few backs it seems……& selling customers the skin flakes he mines…

The question is what will happen to the gold Standing Liberty Quarter. 100,000 mintage and limit of 1 per house. Will it sell out?

It was Mike Mezack on HSN selling those Delaware quarters as “rare, first quarter of its kind only produced for 10 weeks at the Mint! Get them now not later when the market goes up! I only have a few bags left to sell you!” LOL

Remember when the Delaware “Quarter” bags of 100 were selling for over $1,000.00…..

I don’t agree with you totally too often, but you said it better than I could on this issue!
I bought 5 of the US Mint 1999 silver Proof sets & when they reached the $300 level I couldn’t help but sell all but one set. Just last week, a dealer I buy from sometimes has them listed at $92 per set! As you stated well, medals are a very small niche of the numismatic hobby. This too shall pass…have patience collectors.

Wait & be patient,. stay Calm, the price will fall…..how much for a 1999 Silver proof set, sold them for $400 years ago, now lucky to get $90…..Medal collecting has small legs

It’s a beautiful medal, but I had to sell mine. It’s selling at 9 times original price. The low mintage may warrant that multiple, we’ll see.
