Question for those that have purchased $100 face bags of 90% from online retailers (apmex jmbullion etc)... what on average would you say is the percent amount of slicks you receive? Any damaged coins? Any other adverse issues you have dealt with>?
Thanks $nack

In my experience, you'd probably be unhappy with 10-20%. Your mileage may vary, though.
It seems like they have better quality when spot is high, and worse when it's low.

It is a crap shoot. The first $500 bag I bought had $11.75 in 1976 quarters so make sure whom ever you are buying from will stand behind what they sell. I bought them from CNI and thought I was just going to be out of luck but when I called them and told them they over nighted me $12 in silver and told me to keep the 1976's. The upside is you can find some nice coins of value in the bags. I have pulled a 1932S quarter, mint state early mercury dime, seated half and the best bag had 1916S, 1917 D O, 1917 S O, 1919, 1919D, 1921S and a 1921 Walking Liberty Halfs. Of all the bags I've bought the counts have been correct but about 50% of the bags have some clad in them or with halfs they will have some 40%.
