THE COIN VAULT ON 7/30/15 COIN VAULT HOSTS FALSELY CLAIMED THE NEW AMERICAN EAGLE HIGH RELIEF GOLD COOIN WAS SOLD OUT AT MINT! WINCHESTER Indiana

INSTEAD OF ISSUING AN APOLOGY AND RETRACTION, ON 08/06/15, COIN VAULT HOSTS AGAIN FALSELY CLAIM THAT THE 2015 AMERICAN LIBERTY HIGH RELIEF GOLD COIN WAS SOLD OUT AT MINT. WINCHESTER Indiana

BODY: For the second time in a week, Coin Vault hosts claimed on their live cable show that the 2015 American Liberty High Relief one ounce gold coin was sold out at the mint. This time it was hosts Scott Houk and Andy Abel. They were, again, peddling examples of this coin which they had, graded by the PCGS grading service in Proof 70, (perfect), condition. Their sale price for the coin was $2,199, a far cry above the mint's $1,490 issue price. (To be clear, the mint does not sell graded coins. Coins purchased from the mint may be submitted for grading to a grading service by the purchaser, for a fee.)

Houk first claimed that these coins were sold out at the mint on a live show on 07/30/15, with co-host Jim Fisher. On the morning following that show, I checked the U.S. Mint website, and found that the coin was not sold out, but was still available for purchase on back order.

Following the 08/06 show, I again checked the U.S. Mint website and confirmed that the coin was still available for purchase on back order.

I'm no attorney, but is there not some law on the books which prohibits using the public airwaves to knowingly deceive persons for the purpose of financial gain? Any lawyers out there?
