I am not a big-time collector. In the last three years I have purchased about $3,000 in coins from four different coin companies. On 8/17 I was called by National Collectors Mint, and they told me that because I was such a good customer, they had a special deal for me. They offered a 1/10 ounce, 24 pure gold, 16mm coin with $5 face value for $99. If I bought 3 of these coins, in addition I could buy a $25, 26mm, half ounce gold coin. I did not hear it, but I cannot say they did not say it was 24. The way it was done, I feel they were being very deceptive. The price was $449. I feel I was misled.
I called them and told them how I felt when I found an ad in a Heartland America catalog for a 300mg, 9mm, 24 pure gold coin with $1 face value. The only thing I was interested in was the weight. I am retired on Social Security and am trying to leave my grandkids something. I just feel they took advantage of me by telling me I was a good customer and that they had a special deal for me. Just a word to the wise: listen to every word from National Collectors Mint.
