<p>[QUOTE="NumisMan77, post: 26020951, member: 88103"]Hey Folks, I wanted to ask for your opinion on purchasing bullion coins. I'm a long time coin collector/investor and I've gotten into purchasing bullion products that are collectible (IMHO) and some bullion that's just precious metal. I recently purchased some Scottsdale Mint silver coins that come shrink wrapped on a cardboard placard (coins are in capsules) with the Scottsdale mint logo if you buy multiples of 5 coins. Wanting to get a fully intact sheet, I ordered 5 coins and received the coins shrink wrapped to the placard but, the shipping dept cut the placard into 3 pieces so, it would fit into a smaller padded envelope. The cardboard placard is 12" long. I contacted customer service and complained that they had intentionally damaged the product before shipping as they had cut the original packaging to fit into the envelope. They told me that the packaging has no intrinsic value and it' s just for protection during shipping.</p><p>My question is if you're purchasing a sheet of coins do you consider the sheet being intact to be valuable or do you consider the coins as only having value? Thanks for your opinions.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1654315[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
