new way to CRH/question update

[snappy]

Not true CRh'ing but still fun got a $1000 bag of 90% quarters from monex
(8494 delivered) Bag was 6 coins short, 4 clad (non silver) and 3 Canadian (2 80% and 1 50%) Called monex to see if they would replace the 13 coins. Have to call them back monday. I hope they make good on their deal and replace the coins.

138 standing liberty (15 with date rest were dateless)
Anyone know if nickdate works on silver? There is a lot of S mint with no dates would be nice to know the date on them.

Re: new way to CRH/question

Good luck with the replacements! Curious to see how willing they are to work with you on that!

Very cool purchase!

Pretty sure nic-a-date will not work...

Can we get pics? Would love to see one of the whole pile of that stuff! SOOO much silver!

Also the barbers would be sweet to see... and also the SL's if you wouldn't mind.

I loooove seeing pics of the oldies!

Newport Beach will be refused. Shipments on a collect basis are not
permitted.




Well I sent back the non 90% with note registered mail .. I sent the 4 non silver and the 3 canadian. I got back 7 90% but not the 6 that the bag was short.
I guess with the expensive way the require you to ship it did not pay for just the 7 it would have paid if they shipped all 13.

Re: new way to CRH/question

I have a question? did the coin bag come from brinks to start with I have been told that they are now searching rolled coins. This could be true if they are selling the 90% bags thru monex. they have to be getting them from somewhere...
Thanks,
Jason

I have bought 90% silver bags like you did, but from BullionDirect.com.

I have never been short one single coin, and never had a clad or canadian.

The buy prices are probably comparable, but you might want to look at BD instead, since you got ripped for 6 coins.

Hi Jason.
That is a topic that comes up from time to time. The carriers like Brinks are in the coin handling business, not the searching business. They just wouldn't make enough money off of it.

Happy Hunting!

 

[BBcardsRI]

If they replaced the clad and foreign couldn't you have just sent them an extra few clad or foreign to make up for the shortage?

Its not "cheating" since you DID get shorted.

Wonder how many people lie about how many clad they get... could easily score a few extra bucks worth of silver without suspicion...

no brinks does NOT sort coins, 85% of my coins I get from Brinks, if they are searching coins they sure missed a lot...lol

 

[MalteseFalcon]

There is no way they would have the time or manpower to search them. I saw a documentary on coin-op machines, and they had a segment that showed how they process coinage at a Brinks facility. The coins are pretty much untouched by human hands.
There are just too many of them.

Do you honestly think they would sort them by hand? If they are or if they did search it would be all by machine very easy to have it set to kick out silver, just like a coinstar machine rejects silver. It just seems kinda funny when you order from monex it comes from a brinks coin sorting facility, and when you have a return or complaint it is also handled by a brinks facility. It is also kinda funny that everytime I go get my boxes from credit union the manager comments that the driver is laughing that I keep ordering blank boxes. he said the Albany NY facility has the capabilities to sort coins. And as of today I have a total of 11 boxes, and all have been skunks. I dont know one way or another, but seems kinda funny that monex's coins come from brinks...

Monex probably didn't buy the silver coins from Brinks, but had them rolled and boxed there since they have the means.

A dealer told me Brinks has machines that separate out the silver, but I have no way of confirming this

I'm sure that Brinks was only acting as a armored courrier in this instance....
