Correct, they are not. But most being hawked on TV and online are.
The veterans magazines (VFW, A.L., DAV) are NOTORIOUS for their full-page glossy ads touting “commemorative” gold and silver coins as “investments.”
They lie like rugs, and rip off elderly veterans for their life savings.
It’s shameful. VFW, A.L. and DAV should not permit these lying scoundrels to steal from naive elderly veterans.
