Just read on wallstreet silver that the tubes are not sealed and some of the coins are scratched. It wouldn't hurt the bullion value, but some people like perfect coins......
I would not buy it from them. LOL
Not long ago the Gold bars were found to be filled with inferior metals. So all silver and gold needs to be checked to make sure it's solid before investors pay.

I don't trust them to begin with. Appreciate the info.
Every time I have bought silver coinage, I refuse to even touch the slabbed coins-a nearly arbitrary system of 'judging' (4 pair of eyes, 4 different grades) makes the high price unprofitable. Truly rare coins like the Carson City series should hold value since they are not for circulation.
That's smart,I just buy bullion myself. I opened up several tubes of silver krugs and dumped them into a monsterbox just to hear the noise. You can tell it's real by the sound.
When thrift stores were lucritive (they now collect all PM junk and take it to a refinery for 95%) I found gold pieces $5 and $10 and traded them all for good silver-2020 destroyed it all for me.. somewhere over the rainbow there a pot o' gold...
