WRME belling up to the bar

And by bar, I mean a bar-shaped box to hold a plastic tube of 50 Presidential Dollar coins for $124 plus shipping, which is usually about $12. I really love the part where they say "they are so heavy they feel like solid bars of .999 pure gold. So be careful, you may need both hands to pick them up." This is from Timothy Milton, Chief of Coin Operations for the World Reserve Monetary Exchange. Clearly Timothy needs to go the gym more often if he thinks that 425 net grams weighs as much as a gold bar. Maybe they fill the box with lead to make it feel heavier.

No, no, here is the best part: those that call in in the next 3 days will get 5 free coins and the first ballistic roll of 2008 with each complete set of four 2007 rolls. Just the thought of some people spending $500 plus all that shipping costs for something that you can get from the bank at face value just sickens me.

I called their operators up recently, probably for the nickels they were selling, and had a heated discussion over the term "never-circulated condition". She had no chance of convincing me that their process of obtaining the dollar coins from the bank, then putting them into their plastic tubes (ooh, maybe it's the tubes that weigh so much, maybe they're glass, and not plastic... hmm, might have to call them about that one),
makes the coins any more or less 'circulated' than the coins going to some coin rolling company and coming to the bank in shotgun rolls (rolls that look like shotgun shells, for those who don't know).

As long as they keep advertising, I'll keep blogging about them... somebody needs to keep the public aware of the truth about what they are trying to sell.
