SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA -- I purchased these coins 6/2021. The advertisement commercial said they were the only ones who had them in stock. I purchased 3 other silver coins totaling over $700. July came but no coins. I got the same thing as others on here with a personal sales representative calling constantly trying to sell me more junk. When I told her I haven't received any of my previous order she said there was a hold on it due to the Type II being delayed to August. She release the other coins. August comes and I see an additional charge on my CC for $200. I now receive the delayed coin plus another set.

When I did the online order, when purchasing the type I and type II as a set, it lists quantity as 2 which was for 2 coins at the rate of $89.95 and subtotal was. $198.99 (tax and shipping.). When I called they said I ordered 2 sets. I had my invoice and explained to them that was not the case, they told me I could ship a setback but they do not refund shipping and handling. NEVER BUY COINS FROM HERE. They upcharge $10-$20 on these coins, customer service is awful, and they scam you on your orders. eBay has better deals and had the “unreleased” coins months before CSN. Awful company.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA -- The Cable Shopping Network is a scam!!! I've been watching this show for years when I get up early in the morning and one morning I fell for this guy's pitch. I bought the 2021 Type II $5 Gold Eagle - MS70 for $399.95 and when I received it in the mail I was shocked. It was literally the size of my pinky fingernail. I then researched other companies that sold coins and they were selling the exact coin for $240.00, I returned the coin which cost me $5.00 for standard shipping and they refunded me for the coin but the $21.95 the the shipping which they also sent standard shipping and refused to refund me for the shipping. I can't even believe this company has been on TV for so long and they're nothing but a scam and I can't believe I fell for it.

(Bait and Switch Scam), Sent Something Else

SCOTTSDALE, ARKANSAS -- Cable Shopping Network is a corrupt con show. I should read these reviews before I buy things off the TV. Well, my first and last time I bought anything off TV. Just like H from in Scottsdale Arizona who was played just the same way. All I can do is echo most of his words. The only thing that was different was I paid for ten for rolls (200coins) and the shipment did arrive in two weeks.

First thing, I did hear and see the same thing H, from Scottsdale posted. "1964 Kennedy half dollar rolls, 20 coins to a roll", for $80 the only thing different was I bought 10 rolls (200) coins, my shipping was 30 dollars, for a total of $830.30. Just as H from Scottsdale Arizona posted, these coins were not the 1964's they were 1965-69 coins. NO-WHERE did they say or show the coins to be anything other than a 1964 Kennedy half dollar rolls 90% silver coins. In fact, I DVR the coin show by mistake. These are how I found the coins being offered in the first place. Most people I talked to told me CSN will lie to you. I am a believer now.

I called CSN to request a refund and they told me the same thing they posted in the Company Response 03/09/2017 here on this forum. It seemed to me she has stated this line more than a few times in the past. If I see my money back It will have still cost me $50.00 in shipping both ways. H posted his dissatisfaction over a year ago for the same thing, how are these people able to still peddle their crap still on TV? There are a few things I learned over the years one is if it states collectible, it's not, If it says it on the internet, It's 50/50, If it's on TV it's a fantasy. I will finish by saying the same thing I started with. Cable Shopping Network is a corrupt con show.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA -- I saw on the early morning cable show the guy selling "1964 Kennedy half dollar rolls", 20 coins to a roll, for $80, plus $10 shipping, for a total of $90. I was told it would take 4-6 weeks to arrive. I thought that was a very long time, but OK, it was a good price for 1964 Kennedy halfs, which are 90% silver. After several phone calls to customer service, I finally got the coins in the mail after 7 weeks.

During my phone order, I asked the sales person 3 times if ALL the coins were 1964. "Yes" was the answer I got. After 4 weeks of waiting, some guy named John ** called to tell me my coins were on the way, and tried to sell me more coins. I declined, and asked John again if all coins were 1964, who he replied yes, they were all 1964.

THEY LIED!! NONE of the halfs were 64s, but ALL dated 1965-1969, which are only 40% silver, not 90%. I will be returning the coins and would not buy ANYTHING from these CON MEN, esp John **, who did not return ANY of my phone calls after telling me to call his office phone, which he gave me, if I had any problems.

Company Response 03/09/2017:

The presentation in question is for 40% Silver Kennedy Half Dollars. It was never for 1964 90% Silver Kennedy's. The title of the presentation is "Last of the Silver Kennedy's, 1965-1969".

We are sorry your expectation was for a different set of coins but at no time did CSN mislead you or anyone who purchased those rolls of Kennedy Half Dollars. We record every presentation in case something like this is brought into question.

SCOTTSDALE, VERMONT -- After watching some late night TV I ordered a couple of sets of pre 1970 silver uncirculated 50 coins. When I called them 2 weeks later, I was told that the coins don't ship for 4 to 6 weeks! They took my money right away. Nowhere on the show does it mention 4 to 6 weeks! The show says that they have a limited number of these sets, ready to ship now! This company is a joke! They take your money and use it until you finally get angry enough to call your credit card company and cancel the order! Then plan on waiting another week before they refund you! Scammers!

PHEONIX, ARIZONA -- Cable Shopping Network is a corrupt early morning con show, watch out. I can't think of any of their practices that are above board. They took all pertinent info while I supposedly purchased 40 oz of silver bars. Thank the Lord I didn't make the huge purchase I was considering. I've made lots of transactions in the past, with reputable precious metals dealers and never have I been witness to such an outrageous theft from myself and as as I have learned, the public. I am not a sophisticated investor, by any means however I can say this ain't my first rodeo.

They said they had the product on TV, nope. They said they would email me a confirmation, nope. They said I would receive this today or the next, 10x, nope. Did they get money, yep + service close to 50 bucks. They never told me of this charge or I would have bought it in town. There is plenty more deception but I am happy that my bank is dealing with them. The refund is great but I, for once, feel bad for my bank. Also, even though the bank won't say it, I'm sure this gives me somewhat of a idiot rating with them.

The moral of the story is, if you're up late with nothing to do and you see a clown of a snake-oil salesman telling you that silver is 4$ cheaper to buy here than in your hometown, go back to bed and buy it in the daytime, if you must.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA -- Ordered a 2019 .999 silver Kennedy ANACS PR70 First strike coin. The coin was advertised as in stock but limited. Order was accepted with an ETA of 4-6 weeks. During my wait, I received 3 calls from my newly appointed "Personal Salesman" trying to upsell my purchase. I declined every time wanting to wait until I received my original purchase. After 1 month I called inquiring about my delivery date. CSN representative Lynn ** said it had not shipped yet. I asked how long and she said there was no way to know because they had sold out of their stock and had to send more coins out to be graded. I asked if they would send me an email or text with shipping/tracking information. She said they were too small of a company and they could not do that.

So, after being told the coin was in stock (which it was not), being called by a salesman 3 times (he knew my coin had not shipped but no one could send me tracking info), and no one with the company had ANY idea of when my coin would actually ship, I canceled my order. The only good experience with CSN, Lynn ** was polite when I was canceling my order. Which posted back on my credit card within the 3 -5 days I was promised.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA -- I ordered 2 sets of ANACS Silver Eagle Coins from CSN, SUPPOSEDLY price can never go up, delivery is guaranteed. Well, in the first 5 months of being in the program, they were late shipping 3 times and shipping and handling was an outrageous $10 dollars per coin! I could have road a pack mule and gotten the coins faster! When they did get around to sending the coins they usually sent only one package, but charged for shipping twice! And the boxes that were supposed to come with the second coins came late as well. Rest assured I will NEVER do business with this company again!

SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA, ARIZONA -- Yes my name is Gordon ** from Toledo Ohio on the cable network and I decided to buy some silver eagles that was supposed to be mint mark. I get them they're the wrong ones. I call them to get it straightened out. They still sent me the wrong ones and then I canceled everything. Sent everything I had back. They owe me over $1,200. They have not deposit $0.01 in my account. They keep telling me they refunded my money to my account on March 2nd 2018.

They have not refunding my money and when I call now they have all my phone lines blocked so I can't even get to the customer service. So I hope whoever reads these before they buy something stay away from Cable Shopping Network. They are scam. There is bait-and-switch as you can see more than I have been ripped off in these people.

Total Scam

UNK, CALIFORNIA -- This TV shopping network hypes up "rare" coins to make you believe that you are getting a deal. In fact, they out and out lie... here is the latest scam: 2018 $50 Gold Buffalo first strike, pre-release, Mint State 70 (MS70). It is easily available AT PRICES FROM $1299 TO $1599 from various REPUTABLE dealers online. CSNTV.com will have you believe that they possess all of the MS70 First Strike coins, and are charging $2199.00!!!! Almost $1000 more than other dealers!!!! There is NOTHING different about their 2018 gold Buffalo MS70 First Strike coins than any other MS70 First Strike!!!!

Aside from the HUGE price difference that is... the salesman just stands there and pitches to the audience. He's really good... fast talk, confusing, convincing, but a snake oil seller at the end of the day. Pure lies and misinformation about past, present, and future values of their "exclusive" coins... They make it seem as though the US Mint produced special coins just for them... no such thing. Anyone can buy what they are selling directly from the mint, or from an HONEST dealer. Do your research and save yourself hundreds or thousands of dollars. Do not buy from this scam channel!!!
