Just saw on TV - A new collector coin
 
For all you numismatists out there. This is the new must have COIN!

It can also be purchased in 24k layered gold.

How many will you purchase? Or perhaps, the first sucker coin!

But wait, there's more. Maybe you want to cherish Obama's life from his early childhood to his Presidency on the quarter dollar? We got that too! Sale price is $39.00! Better buy two, before they sell out.

Damn! There is a limit of only 20! Anybody want to help a brother out and order some for me? I'm giving them to everybody for Christmas and would like to keep a few dozen for myself. These are sure to skyrocket in value!!

I'd like to make retirement money from them when they rocket in price as highly sought collectables, so I'll take a hundred of each but have to hurry before they sell out!

Why go to the expense of owning gold when you can have quality historical artifacts that look like gold, and will increase in value each day as his power and prestige grows.

Folks,
We as experienced silver and gold bugs/numismatic types need to educate the public about this CRAP. I had a lady show me some gold highlighted state quarters and tell me how collectable they are!!! WTF, lady you can not spell numismatic but just spout off what the con artist sellers told her.

Had a friend who works in a bank, she needed some money and wanted to sell her stash but thought her old dimes were worth at least three dollars a piece (most were common date 1940 to 1945) nothing spectacular. I explained the Bullion Market and Numismatic, most common Mercs retail at 2 bucks, more or less. She contacted a "buyer" and when she offered 5x times face last week, Bank Teller called back and thanked me for the education and sold them to me (She has mistakenly been led to believe that coin collectors will rip her off and coin buyers will pay the highest prices!)

Poor Sheeple, ripe for the pickings.

Never over estimate the intelligence of the buying public. I just wish I thought of this. I wonder just how many suckers will buy their limit of these. I'm absolutely sure these will become valued family heirlooms, 'cause frankly, I can't see how anyone will be able to sell them in the future-- they'll have to pass them off to their grandkids.

Re: Just saw on TV - A new collector coin
 
BTW, does anyone know what that color image is on these? I suspect it's a paper sticker.

I still a limited amount of conscience, like to think my parents raised me right but then a schmoo article like this could tidy up ones end of the year balance sheet.

Might buy a coin stamper/press and see if I can get the contract to make commerative coins for Belize, Vanuatu, Somalia or Hutt River Province.

The money prince of Cajunia could be in the money as soon as his coin in minted and marketed.

Foregoing opportunity may help people sleep at night, but it changes nothing. Just less competition so higher profit until eventually someone sells their conscience.

Just for fun, I went to eBay and did a search for "obama coin" and had 110 hits. A lot of similar junk, but one item stood out. A 24k 1 ounce, GOLD OBAMA ROUND!
Check out the premium over spot! Currently $180.

This whole thing reminds me of the song "Cult of Personality" by Living Color. I remember when the song came out, with the references to Stalin, Ghandi, JFK, and Mussilini(sp?), I thought the cult of personality was a thing of the past. How wrong I was.

Those coins creep me out.

Yikes, I did not notice that, Eye. Man, someone is going to get screwed. Even a jeweler will test it with acids to see how pure the gold is and offer spot price.

Perhaps an obamite cannot afford gold, no worries, she can buy the same coin in pure silver. :111: Don't forget friends and family members want their share of the wealth too!

Heck, maybe obama will even give these away free as "share the wealth" tokens.

I suspect you are correct, Scratchmo! Nothing more than a paper decal I used to glue on my model airplanes when I was a youngin'.

I once purchased, and returned a supposed silver Kennedy half-dollar with the US army logo. The coin was NOT silver, as advertised, and the logo was a disappointing decal.

I can't believe none of you noted this:

"Item # BODollar"

Pretty much says it all ... and then some.

Take heed, Ladies and Gentlemen: There may come a time in the near future when all paper and coin currency bears the image of our "Dear Leader." The Washington D.C. metro subway cards already do.

Be sure to buy these with your credit card, because along with keeping your car full of gas and covering your mortgage the messiah will cover your cc too.

I like to call him Pebo, President Elect Barak Obamma
once sworn in just P-bo.... A, Yo P-Bo....

There is pretty much nothing that I would buy from one of those TV snake oil Hawkers....

A. Its either junk that is latest hype they think many folks will just jump on, before they find out its a wothless shiny trinket made in a sweatshop by prepubescent slaves or...
B. Its actually worth something, but they are selling it way over what its worth, so you'll never even come close making a profit or recouping your investment...

I'm waiting for the much coveted commemorative Obama PEZ dispenser before I commit to buy the coins. Someone on the radio last week suggested a commemorative salt and pepper shaker set for Joe and O ! A little over the top, don't ya think?:bear_w00t:

"Now, back to the united states senate! We don't have time for your problems, little girl! We're busy designing dollar coins that nobody will use!!"



88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel

Melt value 2.2 cents not a good buy in my opinion

Although the hand-crafted water-colors on the front are a nice touch. My opening bid is a nickel
