I have heard from a very reliable source in the genuine numismatic community that Goldwater Jr. is one apple that fell very far from that tree.
I have also heard that the companies that sell these products are owned by just a few parent companies. If one gets busted for fraud, they can just shift operations to one of their other front companies.
If you buy one thing from these clowns, count on getting junk mail left and right offering more of these great "deals." My favorites are the "24-karat gold (plated)" coins. In real bullion value, this amount of gold = diddlysquat. You can get more gold digging the fillings out of your own mouth.
Buying coins from an ad in a magazine or from a tv commercial is a bad idea. Better to try your local coin shop or ebay.
