He's not buying coins, he's buying antiques. He's also made it clear that he buys at inflated prices & he knows that.
Caveat emptor.
I have no pity on the poor saps who listen to Beck's program and get scammed. If they're stupid enough to listen to the show they are going to be stupid enough to be mark for a con, which is what's going on.
"Hey, buy these" <"antique coins" or "gold coins", whichever he says to con his marks> "and the big, bad government will not be able to take them from you and you will survive through the upcoming" <"revolution"/"anarchy"/"collapse of society"/whatevah>"!"
If Beck and Goldline didn't scam them someone else would have. They're just marks waiting for a con.
These are the same people who buy those stupid "collectible, limited edition" plates advertised in magazines and place them lovingly on their wall or behind glass and declare that they are
gaining in value as a collectible.
Dumb-asses.
