Finally, someone experiencing the same problem as me. Haven't the foggiest where we should complain. I suspect that the packaging has been purposely "loosened". Probably because people complained about not being able to easily extract the coins from the mint packaging.
Silver eagles in loose Mint rolls Either that or the Mint made easier for them to pack. But they should have at least get the top tight enough to keep the coins from going up and down. Side to side is bad enough.
Totally agree. You "cap" that sucker real tight and the coins still move. Never experienced this in past years. I can remember folks (mostly fat guys on TV coin programs) saying that the only way to safely remove the coins from the mint tubes was to employ a scalpel and very carefully cut into the mint packaging in order to release the coins.....
They were back up for ordering late Friday afternoon but are now not available to ship until 2/18. Not aware of any price increase in their premiums from this seller.
Nah, you can still get 'em here. Kick myself in the bum for not ordering 'em now as opposed to a month ago..... http://www.mintproducts.com/2009-silver-eagle-gem-uncirculated-condition.html
