Thought someone might be interested in this, which, I saw on another forum...

Free Franklin "Good Luck" half....800.328.1860

The ad was in Investors Business Daily and I believe the company's name was Rarity Investments . All they wanted to do is get your name, address, and send you some info. It's another one of those coin dealer types. There was no pressure to buy anything and they said that it would take 2-3 weeks to get the coin and info.

Just give your neighbors phone number and address, and use your name. Your neighbor will bring you the coin assuming who ever sent it mis-typed the address. :D

Yep I called this morning. If they call to sell me something in the future I will tell them I am no longer working (I am not) and that usually ends it.

My neighbor just delivered my 1953 Franklin Half Dollar. :D
$11-12 in my pocket for a simple phone call.

Wish someone would do this everyday.

I have one of the free Google Voice phone numbers that redirects to here. When a number gets annoying there is a feature that you can set that calling number to get a "Not in service" message. LOL

Got a call the other day from them asking if I could use more coins.
Told them I just got laid off. (NOT). Guy felt real bad and said he would take me off their call list.
You REALCENT guys rock with suggestions for free silver and how to get the phone callers to stop calling.
Thanks,
