Galileo? Galileo. Galileo? Galileo. Galileo! Magnifico

Pretty simple. Just type what it is and use shopping and it’ll usually give you a price range. But a lot of the hsn exclusive have simple changes so you can’t find a good comparison. Like a LG TV for bestbuy may be model ABC23. Exact same TV with different speakers at Walmart abc22. Same TV with slightly different processor at target abc24 and hsn version with different video card is abc26. That’s how they keep competition down around Christmas from price matching. Just enough difference, whether chip wise, or software, or hardware. If chip and software it could make huge difference in performance. But hardware, could be as simple as putting brand name battery in the box for remote, maybe the stand for the tv is one piece for one and two piece for other, or metal versus plastic in which case the difference isn’t really consequential. But again different enough that they can’t price match. And all those cheap TV probably are either 1 TV or store just to draw traffic, or some of the cheapest parts that make it more of a disposable product. I do see sometimes where silver eagle or other coins on hsn are cheaper graded than mint sold it. But the rare and highly sought after are gouged. For example. I went to royal mint for release day. Had the 1 oz gold and 2 ounce silver king charles coronation in my cart. But didn’t want to make an account for just one coin. I think the coin that was $99 on their site is on hsn for $80 and graded. Hard to say, mainly because there was like 20 different silver and 10 different gold coins originally offered. Haven’t checked apmex for their premier direct from mint offering. But touching on the actual mintage numbers, some are high, but in 20 years there will be another billion people on the planet. US population at least 500 million. So coin per capita changes. And with graded being found counterfeit, don’t put past the gubmint to go entirely to digital and ban or seize coins in the name of reducing counterfeits.

The fact you have to be a member or submit a minimum of 100 coins or pay a pawn or coin shop to submit on your behalf seems discriminatory. Also discriminatory is being worth more than 1 million dollar excluding home in order to buy in on stock and companies before they go public. Although there are more Avenues to buy stock online or through apps but partial stock. Which I guess is good if you can’t afford 1 share at $1000 but can get 1/4 share for $250. Whether or not the dividends they pay are also equal to the percentage you bought is another story. I don’t know the answer to that one. Next question. If AI sees that stocks rise and fall on say a 10 to 15 year cycle and recession or depression every 20 and 50 years, does that mean all these AI stock managers will cause the market to crash so the trend continues? Will it deliberately tank stocks in order to get the programmed results. There is no Grey area. There is no stop and think and find a solution. If an unknown element is suddenly found in a mine, will the AI name it and categorize it and update periodic table, or will it be unknown until humans program what it is. Without the proper sensor, if a camera took a photo of gold and one of pyrite, would the AI be able to tell the difference?

While magic mike may be double or triple in price, I don’t think many people have bought every coin at rock bottom. Ideally you want to pay cheapest, hopefully spot and small fee and sin numismatic or rarity value. And if you bought 20 years ago it was probably still considered expensive, but adjust for inflation maybe those prices were magic mike of their time. But then the red book covered prices for a whole year, now price can vary 7 times a week and by large margin. While good for population and info, it isn’t a good price guide anymore.

Your 100% Correct, but those Networks that sell his coins are just as guilty. From listening to the Show Hosts on HSN, he is only of world’s few honest Nnumismatist, and only Mike Mezack has the knowledge that is need to buy coins. That being said make one wonder what else on HSN is way overpriced?

Jeff,

You win the humor prize of the day… that was priceless!

I could name a dead one-Galileo.

Just because you write all those lies doesn’t make them true. Well, I’ll reluctantly agree about the narcissism, but name me one celebrity that doesn’t think the world evolves around them.

Kaiser, That is another reason I use my iPhone. It blocks all ‘Spam Calls’ for me! It is surprising how many I have to delete each day!
