Mine arrived from RAM yesterday along with the $1 coin baggies.
Typically bagged up though :(

Mine arrived yesterday, all pretty heavily scuffed and dented, as well. Bit disappointing to say the least. FV you get what you pay for I suppose. Put them away, probably never to be seen for awhile again. :)

The ones in the rolls look really nice. It's only the bagged ones that look scuffed and dented.

Quote from: 'robbiegal' pid='108585' dateline='1494899886'i went over to a couple of facebook pages last night - haven't done that for ages
found quite a few sellers flogging off whole security bags of the 25 coins per bag retail bags

most selling for about $75 per bag but the whole bag however many that is 10 or 20 or more
i think they were asking well over a thousand for them

so they are out in circulation

i'd believe that C &co are somehow being supplied through the RAM
I doubt RAM are supplying him he has sourced a big bag from one of the banks

yeah i'd agree
it's business

QuoteYour "seriously doubt..." is unfounded and incorrect!

Why the 'Unfounded"?
Have you already forgotten the coloured Olympic $2 rolls episode?
To get the rolls of these new $2 coins that early in the piece it makes perfect sense that the coins were sourced via RAM and not on the off chance of getting lucky at a Bank :ok:

What sort of bags are we talking about here?
The $50 commercial bags or the $10 Mint "Baggies" that RAM is limiting to 3 per order?

Whichever bags they came from, I don't think they can compete with the quality of the mint rolls. The mint's taken great care to protect the ones in the rolls from nicks and scratches, but that's not the case with the ones in the bags.
