I see these advertisements like this quite often in periodicals. "The 10 most valuable statehood quarters lavishly layered in pure .999 fine gold. A $130 value, yours for the special introductory price of just $10. Just send a check for $10 per set plus $10 for shipping and handling." Includes a handsome cherry wood display, a $50 value.
What's the catch? Are these actually worth much less, even less than the $20 they are asking for including shipping? Is this some sort of scam? I've always been curious.
