: : Does anyone have any experience with the World Reserve Monetary Exchange and the "Ballistic Roll" dollar coin release? Is this real?
: Let me try this again... My original post didn't work.... Guess I left off my email addresss...
: I have received my double mint gallery with my first two coins (Washington and Adams).
: The coins are of much higher quality than the coins that I have been getting in mint rolls.
: The World Reserve Monetary Exchange certifies their coins as A+++ "Never Circulated".
: Of course you could buy an individual Presidential Dollar coin on EBay for .99 cents; however, you would have to pay about $3.60 shipping. You could also buy an MS64 or MS 65 Presidential Coin for $30+ plus shipping... or you can subscribe to the complete World Reserve Monetary Echange Gallery and end up paying less than $3 per coin including shipping.
: Sure you are paying more for each individual coin then you could get from the local bank; however, you are getting a higher quality coin, airtite container, and shipping for each individual coin.
: Once again... you are paying less than $3 per certified coin including individual shipping and you will have the leather gallery.
: You can spread your payments for 10 years worth of coins over a 9 month periord or pay for them up front. It's up to you.
: The leather dollar gallery is of good quality and plenty of room for the 40 coins per gallery. I like the idea that you can buy the double gallery and get both the Denver and Phily coins.
: You never have to worry about missing a coin because you failed to go to the bank, your local coin dealer, or buy one off of EBay because they will automatically be mailed to you during the next 10 years... four per year.
: The customer service has been very customer oriented and have allowed me to add to my order as I needed to do. One airtite container did not meet their standards and they shipped me a new one very fast. Their custormer service number is located on their invoice which is 866-282-6587.
: Their web site is secure and you can order directly on line. The only issue that I have seen with the company is that they do advertise in major newspapers and make their ads look like news articles. To be honest... that is no big deal to me but some people have had heart burn about that.
: I plan on framing my set once the set is complete. For those of you that may want to get on the ground floor, you can now order framed sets with the frame costing around $100... That is cheaper than I have paid for framing in the past.
: I am really impressed with the galleries and am glad I purchased them.
: There are different ways of collecting the new Presidential coins... I find the World Reserve Monetary Exchange way to be one of the easiest and prettiest ways of doing it so far.
I saw the full-page ad in my local newspaper, and got suckered into getting two frames from their high pressure gotta make the sale CSR’s. Well I was told that I would be getting two frames and 8 coins one set per mint. I got my shipment, but the frames are the same (found out later that there is two frames one for the Denver Mint, and one for Philadelphia) and I got two Denver minted Washington coins, when I should have gotten one from each mint.(the other presidential coins are correct). Repeated calls, and emails to W.R.M.E. but so far nothing... I'm not happy with them, and will tell everyone to stay away from them!! If I can’t get the 2nd D minted Washington coin swapped out for the P, I’ll just go up to my bank, and exchange it there…
Oh the coins...yeah, I've since educated myself with the rating system used for U.S. currency, and WRME gives the impression that these coins will be pristine when in fact they are MS60 which is to say there is nothing special about them other than they haven’t been put into circulation yet(expect to see bag marks). Oh! And the ad makes you think you are getting actual “gold” coins when in fact they are made from the same planchet as the Sacagawea coins i.e. NOT gold! Maybe not rip-off but very, very misleading.
Granted the frame look like it’s of high quality, but still the way they messed up on my order and as of yet not owned up to it doesn’t bode well in my book... To SHAME World Reserve Monetary Exchange! To shame.
