NO NO NO this is not fair!!!

Why Why why...

I keep reading about the success people are having accross the country with Brinks boxes. I am not. I have yet to pull a single silver coin out of a Brinks box. Granted I have only done about 15 Brinks boxes but as a comparison I have done over 200 Dunbar boxes and probably only had a 5% skunk rate. I think I will try oredering a box from different bank. Time to try BofA.

Even more frustrating was one of the Brinks boxes I got today...I was sealed and contained YELLOW FED ROLLS! open fed rolls to boot! I was so ticked I took them right back to bank that I ordered them from. I had never ordered from them before, and I explained to them why I was returning them and they agreed.

Think the delivery services get coins from the Fed when they need them, I really have NOT seen a Fed rolled roll of coins ever from Brinks or Loomis, as for Brinks they all come in Brinks rolls, you know they say Brinks on them- Brinks must be doing the pickups & storage & reshipping out; when they get too much or need more of one coin or the other they order or deliver excess too the Fed.

Yes I have seen Fed Rolls- in coin shops (they had Red wrappers on them).

 

[FingerGrime]

So, the fed rolls are in wrappers like the ones you get when you order coins from the mint? They are wrapped by N.F. String & Son, Inc. ? With red lines on each end of the wrapper.

Fed rolls which people are referring to are in most cases, Strings and Sons yellow stripes on white. Brinks are Brown stripes on white and say Brinks on them.

I have gotten some Brinks boxes in the past that were sealed and contained rolls that were searched. It happens. Search and dump as if they were any other box.

Do not fuss over it and never return a box unless it was absolutely something wrong.

It would be a delicate issue and should be approached delicately. If you go back to the bank you order from complaining about the box you ordered you are really putting them in a position that you might not like the outcome.

Once you leave the bank with that box the burden is all yours.

Always open and check the contents in front of the teller before you leave.

umm i have gotten 5 boxes, all yellow rolls, all produced some silver, most being 13 in a box, rest less then 10, no less then 3 though, wtf?

Please folks, they are not "Fed" rolls. The String and sons wrappers are made by the company of the same name and bought by some of the coin suppliers. The only time you get a fed roll is when you order a roll from the mint. The mint does have the Strings company do some wrapping I believe. The Federal Reserve is not in the business of wrapping their own coin. Hope this helps.

It is my understanding that the Fed Delivers Big Bags of coin to a contracted source like Loomis in my area. Which uses the Strings and Sons wrappers.

That is correct. there is no such thing as a "fed" rolled roll. The fed ships coins out in a pallet size bag. An outside sub contractor then rolls the coins, many sub contractors use N.F. String and Sons wrappers. I have seen in my area that Brinks for example may not have Halves in there warehouse and get them from another carrier in the area, Loomis, Dunbar, Ect... That is what has probably happened. When most of us CRHers refer to "FED" rolls we are refering to anything that is not customer rolls(hand rolled) other words a "FED" roll = Machine rolled...

I got a rerolled box this week as well. The box was just taped shut. It was a skunk, but at least every other coin wasn't edge marked with red paint like the other 5 boxes! It looks like fingernail polish or model paint. I guess I will be seeing these from here on out cause it ain't gonna wear off ant time soon.
