My friends mom spent her entire retirement, over $200,000.00 buying coins for her grandkids to inherit. After she passed they found out she had (1) gold coin that may have been worth $200. the house was full of state quarters, plated coins from Liberia, cancelled stock certificates, and more. It was criminal what these people did to this poor woman. They literally robbed her.

When I was in college, like 2001, my roommate and I would prank call HSN when they had coin auctions asking them to guarantee the value of the investment. It was hilarious, they put one of our calls on the air. We are both avid coin people and thought that junk they were slinging was hilarious. Good video, keep 'em coming.

Take notice how HSN never takes phone calls during its coin shows. Could it be to prevent someone offering a reality check about the over-priced coins being sold?

Man I've been there. I had a grandmother of a guy I played football with in high school come in my store to cash in her coin collection to fund a vacation. Her collection was very well organized and she had a receipt for every piece, sadly it was all Littleton and HSN sets that no matter what way I figured it was only worth $500 or so. Most of the stuff I just told her to keep since it was only worth face value. I felt horrible when I seen the look on her face, after she left I went through the receipts and found that she had spend over $5000.00 on what amounted to be worth about $600 to $650 retail. She had a case of gold plated buffalo nickels with no dates or partial dates that they charged her $5.00 to $10 each on and a state quarter album that cost her $75, even had her name on it that was worth about $10 in change. It really made me sick to my stomach to see how badly they ripped her off and made her feel that she was making a investment into her future, man you should have seen some of the advertisements they sent her "once in a lifetime opportunity!!!!" Absolutely criminal!

These quarters are worth something, they're worth 25 cents a piece!!!!!

A former co-worker "invested" in coins from HSN. When he told me what he got and what he paid, I urged him to return them while he could. What a rip-off.

They're trying to sell to the noncollector, elderly that want to leave the grand kids something. It is a joke! Totally agree with you. Do the homework folks. Thanks Daniel

Thank you for being real with us and not shying away from showing your true emotions and feelings. I think that makes you an even more credible source

knowledge is power, and you my friend are a powerful educator for the common coin collector. thank you for your insight and honest approach to coin buying and collecting.

I've been a collector for 50 years, and I've always despised these ripoff sales gimmicks to rip people off that don't have a clue. They prey on impulsive new collectors. Glad you made the video Daniel

At first you had my curiosity, now you have my attention!!! 😳🤔😂 I’m glad I watched this video before purchasing some of those coins, which I almost did. Instead, I decided to get a few from the Mint and slowly learn about coin collecting first, before making big purchases like they were selling on TV. Whew, thank goodness. Thank you sir.

I bought this EXACT set for my daughter on eBay to show her the difference between clad cheap gimmicks and real silver last Christmas-got it on e-bay for $21 on Auction complete-then I bought a set of S Silver 70 NGC Cert coins in a case for $200 bucks-we took them to my local coin shop -guy offered me $250 for mine( more then fair for the 1999-2009 set) and didn’t even want hers--I didn’t sell them cause I really only wanted the fractional silver right now -but I DID buy her her first Silver Eagle-she GETS it now!! I HATE those predatory commercials too!!

I used to watch "Coin Vault" early in this decade just for entertainment. I wondered who actually bought their stuff.

We have companies here in the UK selling 'coins' and 'limited edition' collectors coins etc etc (that aren't legally coins and are supposed to be labelled as medallion's) and they are marketed at older people who possibly buy them thinking they are investing in something valuable to leave to their kids/grandkids. They are worth fuck all. Nothing. Zilch. NADA. They prey on old vulnerable people, they sell them under company names such as 'Windsor mint' or 'Royal Elizabeth mint' and similar official sounding names (the official maker of UK currency is the Royal mint so they are all variations on that theme) they deliberately use official sounding names to trick people in to believing that they are getting official limited edition currency that is worth buying and indicate the value will only go higher and higher. It's a bullshit practice. It should be illegal. It's a con. It's like snake oil. My father passed away thinking he had done something good with his savings to leave to his 7 kids and 50+ grandkids and 100+ great grandkids by buying this worthless shite infested tat. £1000s upon £1000s spent on shit. We would rather he had given it to charity than waste his money and his last few years on earth being conned. I would donate them to charity but they aren't even worth the scrap value to recycle them. They literally go for pennies on eBay. Limited edition my arse. There are millions of the cunts on eBay! One of the 'coins' my father bought for £300+ from one of these companies, there are currently over 3000 for sale on eBay, some going for 50p, some on buy it now for £2.50. but nobody is even buying them for that price. Those companies should be ashamed and I hope the fuckers that own the companies all die from cancer of the arsehole. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

Every time I hear gold plated I hear damage 😆 Who buys this nonsense 😂

🤣 Just stumbled across this video. My daughter and I watch these HSN infomercials for the pure entertainment. I love the ones where they are selling say 100 coins and “just these 3 coins alone sell for price we are charging” that’s 97 coins for free. My daughter and I often comment “how do these people stay in business?” Giving away all those coins. 🤣

I yell at the TV when I see this kind of crap. It's so bad for the hobby. Thank you for educating people and making this video.😀

When I first started collecting coins, I got ripped of by HSN for 2 Peace Dollars and 2 graded Walking Liberty silver dollars.. The Peace dollars were supposed to CH BU, NOT. The Graded Libertys I think were re-packaged. Can they do that? The MS69 has 3 scratches and a flat spot on the rim like it was dropped. Live & learn. At least they are not gold plated :-)

"Gold plated" is also a gimmick... because the actual gold content is so small, it's not even worth mentioning. The layer of gold is extremely fine on top, almost to be ignored. The total gold content in all these plated coins together won't even fill a 1/10th ounce gold coin.

THIS VIDEO MADE ME LAUGH SO MANY TIMES,. I AM GLAD YOU MADE IT. LAUGHING IS GREAT FOR THE SOUL,,,THANKS

You EARNED the VIDEO OF THE YEAR AWARD! I LOVE HUMOR IN THE WAY YOU TEACH US❤

I didn't finish. By just watching you all I got a lot of good info and developed a trust in you. T. U again keep on the great work!

.9999 24k gold plated with 2mg of pure gold

Thanks for reinforcing my belief that the tv coin sales people are so obviously conning people into buying coins I would buy only from a reputable dealer for a more accurate price. There must be 5-6 of these stations on cable and people unfortunately fall for it. Sad. Hurts the industry. Thanks Daniel. Great information as always.

I absolutely love your Videos! Very informative, and You are as Honest as the day is long!! I admire your integrity. Thank You for sharing and taking time to do so ♡

U Rock Bradda!! Keepem coming. I really appreciate all the free knowledge u pass on but I really liked this one as well🙄✌

I was struggling to breathe after seeing those quarters, my wife almost called 911 I was gasping so badly. And the box, can you believe it? That's a selling point in itself.

This is the channel for insight...great job sir.

Thank you for bringing awareness to us. I'm 100% thankful.

You made it longer than I would! Thanks for another great video, Daniel

my man you are awsome its people like you that changed my life im a successful dealer because of YOU COIN OPP BLUE RIDGE SILVER HOUND COUCH COLLECTABLES ILOVE YOURE CHANNEL THANKYOU NOW IM OBSESSED AND HAVE LEARNED SO FREAKN MUCH I NOW HAVE A POTIENTIAL CARREER THANKU LOVE YA MAN !!!! ITS awsome people like you take the time out of youre day and help new and long time collectors i found that the more ya learn and know about coins especially errors and what to look for the more you make and its so much fun just thanku man yu are one of the people that changed my life!!!

Great video, this is why I always tell my family or frinds free shipping doesn't mean free shipping... It just means we will charge you something else.

They sell the hope of owning something valuable. They take advantage of old men and women who want to leave more than a check. Hopefully something thats gained in value. Never knowing They are getting duped. New stackers and collectors aee scared away when they spend a thousand dollars on this stuff and then see it all for 250 when they learn more. The 1st thing i do EVERY time i see a coin or round for sale is pull uo my phone and look it up

Daniel its taken me years to figure out coins and am learning more every day and thanks for the videos !

The other thing you never want to buy are those commemorative coins you see advertised. They are almost certainly worthless. I remember one ad in particular which trumpeted that it was plated in 14mg of 24K gold. I did the math, and 14mg of 24K gold is worth about 58 cents.

Funny, It was about time someone called them out for what they are a “JOKE"! Great Video it was light and funny to watch. I’m still gasping for air, over the now damaged coins with the 24k plating. WOW

I felt so bad when my mother bought me a 1 ounce bar of gold from the internet for $30 dollars, and I pointed my magnet towards it and it leaped from the desk to my hand, it was 24k gold plated, then I explained to her that an ounce of gold could be applied so thin that you could cover a football field, I respectfully told her to not buy me any coins or bars.

This is the video that sold me on you!THANK YOU ❤

Another thing the younger generation needs to do is to actually spend time with their parents, grandparents etc. and make sure they're staying on the right financial path. I have a family member whose grandma died recently. Grandma was somewhat wealthy. She inherited grandpa's wealth etc. Well it turns out the kids/other family member were not making sure grandma was using the wealth wisely. Turns out when she died the kids and other family members started going through her stuff. Turns out grandma spent the vast majority of her wealth on buying jewelry on HSN and in the later part of her life, she was purely living on social security. No money in the bank. It was estimated she spent around 300-500k on jewelry on HSN and most of it was appraised as basically "junk". So when grandma died each of the kids and family members basically got several boxes full of jewelry that was basically junk. Another thing you want to make sure is that grandma/grandpa don't get involved with gambling. If your grandpa/grandma/parents are into this stuff then you'll most likely end up inheriting nothing.

Absolutely Spoken Like The True Professional You Are..Once Again Your Honesty Is Definitely Appreciated Thank You..

I'm glad you showed this. Cause my son almost bought me a set from hsn. Now I'm sure he'll make a better decision

Thanks for ALL of your very informative videos and knowledge. I got bit once when I 1st started collecting, HSN is a joke! Bit once, NEVER AGAIN by HSN. Keep your honesty and dignity, WE TRULY APPRECIATE YOU! Have a great day Sir.

Daniel you couldn't be more dedicated to the folks that follow you. I knew it was only gonna get a few minutes on your site.. They are truly comical and if the coins are such a great deal they wouldn't have many of them, and when they exclaim 'very few left' wait a week + call them, I guarantee they still have em. Many years ago I got some mercury dimes from one of the late night -early morning shows and got lucky because I waited for coins that weren't coated or in any special boxes and looked up what they were going for, I haven't looked at them since I got them but one day hope to be pleasantly surprised when I find them and maybe they're worth twice what I paid, but unless there's some mistakes on them I don't expect to get much more, and will consider myself lucky because I used to watch them after a good night of parties..✌💰🍻😎✨

I watched a QVC info sell once. I wanted to puke at what they selling. Like you said "Snake Oil, Packaged B.S., bad stuff !" Glad you posted this. Keep up the honest work. Maybe we should call you the 20/20 of coin collecting.....LOL :-)

Thank you for this information, you have opened alot of eyes, thank you!!!! Keep up the good work !!

You Sir, (Daniel) are not only a Patriot, but You are a GREAT AMERICAN!.....As it is Videos Like THIS that can save somebody New or Naive to the Hobby from UTTERLY BEING RIPPED OFF BY THESE LATE NIGHT CHARLATANS! Who claim to be doing the consumer "A Favor!" When in truth, they are indeed doing Numismatic Tomfoolery!!😱😔😮😱 Again, thank you Sean.

You are spot on in your assessment of HSN coins. You love to see your take on the brother act I refer to as Bevis & Butthead on the coin vault. They are constantly hyping coins from a country the size of a postage stamp for a premium. For everything else the reference Littleton’s catalog prices more than anyone. You will never recover your investment in 80+ present of what they sell.

DEAR Daniel. Thank you. I am still cracking up...especially bout the part when people visit you and you KEEP THEM ON THE piano. I play classical music.... i'd be ashamed Beethoven,Bach,or Mozart would be angry at i ? I LOVE TO SEE YOU LAUGH. YOU MADE MY WEEK 💕🐈🐈🐆🐆🐃

Glad to see this video. I always wondered, but never took the time. Like the saying says. "If it sounds to good to be true.....

Whew good video alot of people need this information! Thanks CoinHelpU

This is why I enjoy your Channel you true facts to the point on the money know if buts about it. I'm not going to lie I'm a huge huge fan of the Home Shopping Network never as seen on TV QBC products I'm a terrible sleeper so they entertain me. I have never bought jewelry coins. But I have purchased and we'll keep buying the random gadgets that they sell out there. knives that could cut through cans. A flashlight when you add batteries it lights up. a dish sponge add soap and water scrub and look out they are clean lol I have so much of this stuff Thank you again for the real facts and the true knowledge

Thank you, I most definitely enjoy watching videos like this

I have family members who purposely play HSN coin displays when I'm around and I react the exact same way you do! I start yelling out the prices of the coins in the other room, and they are selling them for 10 or 20 times their worth. It is ridiculous.

When they put the definite article "the" in front of "24k gold-plated" they imply strongly that the quarters are plated by the mint. Both of those on-air people probably believe they were. I've collected coins by year from change since I was a kid. I learned all about coin collecting as a kid. And how long ago was I a kid? I actually extracted a 1909 VDB (not S) Lincoln from change and a 1916-D Mercury from change. Exciting times, those. Never dug the state quarters myself.

So glad someone out there are uncovering these clowns that rob innocent people and destroy our hobby Thanks Daniel you are the best

Tried buying a 2020-P Emergency Silver Eagle off of HSN...but for some rule or law not allowed to ship or sale to Minnesota residents..dodged a bullet there.. lol..

Would you know where you can get some of the display cases/boxes empty second hand? trying different terms on ebay turns up mixed results, but I'd assume there has to be someplace that flips them on the cheap instead of throwing them all in the trash right? I'd like to put a couple sets in them cause they are kind of cool.

Thank you. I know this is an older video but I can tell you how many times I have seen HSN scan people with these coin "deals". I 100% agree the boxes are trash. Fact is when you send in coins to get graded, most collectors don't even both getting them sent back.

I've found the same things on the big E 2000.00 to 10,000.00 for a large date 1982. Thank you this is a must watch for us beginners.

Thank You Daniel. I won't mess with this show again. I will have to let someone tell me what my coins are worth.

Thank you for your honest opinion and advised. I love to have such coins collection, but they are expensive. can’t afford..Thanks for this nice info. Have a great day Daniel!

Thanks for a the education.....this is helpful to all new coin collectors.

You did a wonderful job on this video I really enjoyed it! When I watch these I also do the same thing you are doing laughing at what they're saying because it's not true

Good vid,HSN is a ripoff, that dude who's pumping those coins is an a##whole

Daniel you have another hit on your hands, keep the video coming. love love.

Bro i just subbed you for your honesty of exposing this crud. Thank you man your channel is phenomenal!!!!!

Daniel, you are a superstar. I love your honest professional opinions. Keep up the good work sir.

I've been collecting coins for over 50 years so my friends always come to me to look at "grandma's coins" asking how much they are worth. Usually they aren't worth very much. But one thing I always tell people who will listen is do not buy plated coins or most coins sold on HSN or any of the other hucksters out there. If you are serious about collecting/investing in coins go to a reputable dealer.

A great video. You probably opened some eyes. With the name Coin help you just did that for someone going the wrong way with there coin buying cash. Good job. I know one person to share this with

I use hsn for information and then go buy them from another dealer

I listen to your explanation you are exactly correct the coins is you are selling not the box or packaging important is the coins not the junk. I love it

When I see these ads, my 1st thought is “damaged coins.”

1 time, 1 time...I fell for somthing they were selling,I was tired and they caught me off gaurd.never again. Thank you for showing this.

Great video, great humor, love your crutiques please do more LOL. Love the boots comment. We are knee deep with the packaging lol.

Glad you're making these videos. These clowns are hurting the hobby. We all know someone who lost money with these scams. Make more and inform the public.

I just got some art boxes for £10, lined them with green paper. And the presentation is great.

Your reaction to the HSN hosts is worth $79.95! 🤣😂. Appreciate and enjoy your channel.

Do you know anyway the plating can be removed so the queens have more value?

You're very helpful Daniel, thank you for teaching everyone how to not make an error

Thanks for posting this. I've come across the home shopping channels selling these and similar "collector" coins from time to time and I often stop in for a few minutes and shake my head. It's really sad and deceptive how they take advantage of people who don't know any better. I wish people would take the time to be educated and invest in REAL valuable coins.

Hi Daniel. I'm a new sub. Love your advice. I'm binge watching your channel at the mo.

You might want to add "The Coin Vault-live stream". They sell a lot of stuff I would consider "junk". As a matter of happy circumstance, I bought from APMEX full set of BU Franklin halves in the Dansco album for $729.00. Same deal on the live stream $999.99. Don't even know if APMEX was the best deal but checking out their prices for this and that, I am very happy.

Sometimes I watch hsn just as pure entertainment. It is sad that people get sucked in by them

It's obvious to me that their main target audience are the blue haired senior citizens in their rocking chairs, with a cat on their laps watching their informercials. They probably think it would be a nice birthday or graduation gift for one of their grandchildren. Don't watch 'em with a box of wine and a credit card grandma ;)....

I wish my Grandson could see this video. He needs to get awakened up to this crap. Great video and take on it. I occasionally do buy from them but never coins. I don't like the hard sell tactics that they use at all. Great one, Daniel ☺

HSN is a comedy channel. Thanks for exposing people like this.

"Homer, please don't buy coins from HSN" "But Marge, it's limited edition. And RED OAK!"

I watched one the other day, gold 2014 Kennedy. $3000, MS 70. I found several 69's under $1500 on Ebay.

I ordered bills years ago from a shopping channell i could not return them fast enough they actually had photos of bills in a frame

Thanks I needed that! 😄 So many Cons out there someone should be doing videos on it.

what about the mint issued packaging? that has some value doesn't it? If your just collecting and not collecting graded?

Dude,I love your videos, You are so funny and so True,Thanks fir waking people up and telling it the way it is.

Hello can you tell me if a 1942d wheat pennie cost anything

Thankyou mr Daniel, finally someone said something about it yesss.

I collect some US coins and paper money, but most of my collection is ancient coins. I remember a company that might still be in existence that would issue a color catalog of "valuable" ancient coins, and I could see right off that the coins they were selling for big bucks were the coins I could get at a dealer's $5 or $10 "pick'em" box at the shows, with some fancy packaging. I wonder if these HSN sellers are a division of "Glitzco Packaging". :)

Thank you for posting this video. People need to know they’re getting ripped off!

Thanks for the critique Daniel. I like that you're blatantly honest.

I've watched those HSN Coin Shows before and find them hilarious .. common sense tells me they are always pushing junk. Thank you very much for the video... it's great.

I remember getting small catalogs which features sets of US coins in framed holders for more then they are worth.
