Got the following email from one of our FOE blind followers...
--------------------------------
From: "Tony H. Campagna" <to...@anet-dfw.com>
To: rope...@ix.netcom.com
Subject: Family of Eagles

Who sells more 1/10 oz coins? You or Family of Eagles! I don't see
people lined up outside coin shops to buy them. Do you pay sales
commissions to people who refer business to your store. And by the way,
how much was your check for last month to go towards the National Debt?
--------------------------------

I don't pay commissions, but I DO pay my sales tax....

Yep, and the (6% Iowa) sales tax is a helluva lot more than the $1 that
the mint sez goes toward the national debt from FOE for a 1/10 oz. How
much was your sales
tax return last month, FOE? AND, if I charged as much as FOE for 1/10
ozers ($72+) rather than the $40 or so I get, I'd be glad to pay those
commissions...only trouble is, I couldn't sleep nights if a ripped off my
customers that badly.

Great comeback...the FOE people would be in JAIL if they were selling
stocks or other investments under such crooked conditions.

Saw the expose on Channel 5 news in Fort Worth last week...these guys
are absolutely crooks! Hope some of the numismatic press will expose
them!

These Family of Eagles people need to be stopped! I think Dondi's idea
of a S--T list is great!

All of the content below is just my opinion...not all of you may agree
with my opinion, though...........

Seems like FOE is like Gobrecht, Paul Sims, Mt. Vernon, etc. in the
bullion field, but recently when I saw a post from a fellow r.c.c'er, I
was shocked to see that they listed 'numismatics' as a keyword for their
homepage (apparently to get more hits..... Shame on FOE and very
disgraceful, all IMHO, of course)

About a day ago, someone at some coin show here in some city told me
that he actually was at a show in some state where FOE was expelled
(There was a post on this....look it up in Dejanews, with the subject in
your search as "Family Of Eagles expelled"). When you see a coin dealer
being expelled from a show, that probably indicates that dealer is
"bad," but in some cases, the dealer is not "bad," maybe just had a bad
day or perhaps bad luck or whatever.

If Family Of Eagles is actually promoting their Gold bullion coins in
numismatic arenas, then I'd consider placing them on my Numismatic Death
Penalty (NDP) list. I've always smelled rats and so on from FOE.

My NDP list is a list that contains coin companies/dealers who us
knowledgeable collectors/numismatists should not deal with. I will post
suggestions and you may also "write-in" other dealers for whom you think
should be placed on that list.

Suggestions will be posted on the 25th of every month, and results (plus
changes, if any) will be posted on the 1st of the following month to
r.c.c, r.c.p-m, and a couple of numismatic mailing lists......

My opinion, Family Of Eagles = Gobrecht Numismatics, Paul Sims, Mt.
Vernon, etc. = Nothing but "Slime, Crooks, Snakes, Black Spot of
Numismatics, etc."
