4. Okay. I admit it. I thinking about calling the number.

5. I thought about it, too...

but I believe this is the same company that was selling 9/11 coins. I thought that was pretty tacky so I decided against the Obama coins.

I'll wait for the real currency with President Obama on them. :)

7. These are tacky, worthless junk. Not worth half of what they're charging.

13. I agree, but I'm still excited to see it on TV. n/t

14. QVC was selling them immediately after the election was called.

It was a gold-plated uncirculated Kennedy half-dollar (struck by the US Mint), with the image of Obama on the front and the "Change we need" slogan and logo on the back. Price was something like $17. Not the same as the $9.95 ones, but similar.

15. Ok I just saw the ad again.

Are these just cheap slugs with an Obama sticker on them? That's exactly what they look like.
