I ordered 20 mercury dimes and a roll of Franklin half dollars from Apmex for my collection . The dimes were advertised as BU (brilliant uncirculated) .. Package tracking with usps said items were due to arrive Thursday so I took the day off to be available to sign for delivery. Package did not show up on Thursday. Items (value appreciated $1000) left on my porch by usps. Luckily the package wasn’t stolen. When I opened the packages I found the Franklin coins to be mostly in good condition but the Mercury dimes were far from BU as advertised. Some of them looked like they’d been in the bottom of a trash can for 20 years. They were scratched, worn, and corroded to the point where they’re unsellable and in my opinion uncollectable… not ok guys.. when I paid well over $300 for the 20. Also, each Dime had been placed in its own separate plastic bag so someone had to have looked at them before shipping them out. I immediately called to ask for replacement coins but the apmex rep I spoke with told me they were out of Mercury dimes so they could only refund my money. Between the time I ordered and received the coins silver had gone up from low $80’s to over $93 per ounce so I asked if I ordered the same coins again could I get them for the same overinflated price I originally paid. The rep said no, he couldn’t do that. I decided to just keep the coins and take the loss. I will say that I was not happy at all with the price or the quality of the coins I purchased. Also, it was irresponsible of usps to leave the package on my porch. All things considered I will not likely buy from apmex again.
