[QUOTE="WillieSutton, post: 64441, member: 3835"]Thanks GDJMSP, and no problem. I will not double post again. Just so you will know, I was trying to address two separate issues. The one on this thread was the coin marking. Several premises: (1) Someone out there is doing some serious coin marking. Recently, I have received a number of boxes (1,000 coins) and bags (2,000 coins) with every single coin marked. I'm not against that because those coins can go to the scrap heap quickly. Just seems like it would slow down the one doing the marking, unmercifully. (2) Based on my experience in the deleted message that is referenced to another thread, which I should have done in the first place, it looks like the Fed, armored car/coin suppliers, and local banks are simply rebagging the same coins in more than a few instances. As Cave_Troll referenced, I do not see how every coin in large quantity lots are marked if supposedly counting and dispersion takes place in the banking system. (3) If (2) above is true, how do they know the dollar amount in a sealed box or bag. Any thoughts out there. Willie (The Ghost of)[/QUOTE]
