Message:: [QUOTE="Packrat, post: 3419635, member: 71780"]I was called to evaluate some coins in a lock box at the bank. The doctor had "15 gold coins and a bucket of silver" as part of an IRA. The accountant told his family that description was not acceptable and to determine what was actually there. The bucket was sealed and had never been opened by the doctor. Inside the "bucket of silver" were two bags of quarters, each identified as containing 250 coins. These were from a Georgia Coin Shop. The estate sold me the coins. I took them to a silver dealer who ran them through his coin counter. Each bag was one coin short. I wonder if the coin company shorted every customer one coin per bag, guessing that most who were buying for investment would not open the bags or bucket. If someone complained they could send additional coins or refund the difference. I did not go back to the bank. It is the nature of the business we have chosen.[/QUOTE]
