Just saw a commercial on TV for a 1929 5 dollar gold coin for only 20 bucks. Who buys this stuff? If you are one I have a rare 1979 20 dollar bill I will sell you for a low price of $99.95. :p :D

The genuine gold half eagle is neither fine nor rare, but the fake, gold plated copies (they call them "tributes", HAHAhahahahah!! :D ) are even less fine and even less rare.<br /><br />Real value? About $2.50.

Genuine legal tender, in some third world country, value = $0 +/- 0

The one that cxrosses the line for me is the "WTC coin",. That is just plain sick.<br />Who buys this crap?

Sounds like the deal the US gave the Indians for Manhatten. Actually the Indians made out considering the plight of Manahtten lately. There are idiots everywhere that will buy the crap. They stay up too late and lose the sense in smart and stupid. Surprised nobody is hawking land on Atlantis.

Speaking of Atlantis, I hear it has been found. Someplace west of Cyprus about a mile down.

If you noticed, that WTC coin ad has been pulled and they are being investigated for fraudlent claims (about the silver coming from a safe found at ground zero, and the government offical claim to being legal tender).<br /><br />About time these coin ads were monitored.

According to Jeff Foxworthy, most people invest in stocks. Rednecks invest in commemorative plates. Maybe he has your answer, lol.
