All I know is that virtually anything purchased off TV is a major ripoff
They can’t pay for expensive TV time by offering fair prices.

Thank goodness I very seldom turn the volume on when I watch those coin “shows” … I just wait to see what’s being presented and then switch channels Coin Vault was off for a few months I remember …. now they are back …

Thanks, I used to peek a bit at the show when he had it around 2am on CNBC (I wrote it as CSNBC before).

When dealing with TV guys, always check their prices with what their coins are selling for on ebay. Your ebay search should use the filter “sold” so you get actual sale prices, not asking prices. This will give you an idea as to whether or not you are getting ripped off. The vast majority of the time you are overpaying when you purchase on a TV show.

Also, beware grading coins that are not graded by NGC or PCGS. The re-sale value on coins graded by second tier companies reflects the fact that those coins often have inflated grades.

What is it you are wanting to know? If it is about the prices on coins from a TV show Seth is right. BUYER BEWARE! You can find ALL the coins the TV shows are selling else where for a lot less than the TV shows! A LOT LESS! Just about everywhere else is cheaper than ANY of the TV shows and the TV show’s web sites. If you want to buy from the TV just because of the Smokey The Bear Album that’s up to you. And as far as the “PROOF” it is everywhere else if you just compare prices. Good luck to you and your collecting.

joera-

You are definitely doing the right thing by sharing your hobby with family members. The only ones in my family interested in numismatics are my four nephews. Sharing hobby info is so educational & fun too! Our collections will be part of our legacy some day – a very good thing for sure.

Happy collecting!

Remember what I said about one of my grandsons having a thing with numbers and that he was so into NASCAR? I tried to get him interested in coins but he was not to into that. He still really just likes die cast cars of all kinds as long as they have numbers. NASCAR being first then Hot Wheels and then the rest after that. He loves racing the die cast at his home and when he comes to visit us here we race all day long. Or as long as I can hold up.
Anyway my other grandson who is older is now really interested in coin collecting now! And that’s GREAT FOR THE BOTH OF US! He came to visit during the holidays and saw some of my coins and we spent hours just looking at my collection and talking about it. He soaked in a lot of information so when he went home I sent him off with a proof set, uncirculated set and a silver proof set from his birth year! And I also gave him his first gold 1/4 oz. eagle and an ASE! I got that boy hooked! lol It was almost as much fun as we had fishing! The only reason fishing was more fun is because I fell in the lake and he thought that was really funny. I did too. But with the coins he has now started a life time hobby that could be lucrative and educational! And maybe he will think of his old grandpa while enjoying his new hobby. Sometimes all it takes is to just show the young people a little bit about coin collecting and then they can see just how much fun it can be. Maybe once my younger grandson gets older he will get into coin collecting. But that will be his choice. Now to work on my granddaughters. One is 19 and the other is 12. The 19 year old already got the 2016 1/4 oz. gold eagle and the 2016 ASE for her graduation. I had to make my own “Congratulations Set” since the mint was late on theirs last year.
