They took two pieces of information and wrote up an invoice ... they have evidence of the transaction. My previous purchases have been at coin shops where no personal information was revealed. My question is, at some point I am assuming you will convert your Silver into cash. Will you then claim capital gains?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33548108.post-44157963053675441032008-12-08T08:34:00.000-05:002008-12-08T08:34:00.000-05:00sorry to get back late, computer issues at home al...sorry to get back late, computer issues at home all weekend.<BR/><BR/>CHR<BR/><BR/>Get out the bay street end of union station, go straight up bay a couple of lights <BR/><BR/>the Scotia Plaza is on Bay ST on the entire block from King To Adelaide on the east side.<BR/><BR/>there will be an entrance facing onto Bay, Go in through that area which is relatively unused and through to the new section , past the big round teller area to the far wall, You will see the Metals and currency exchange area.Carter Apps, dabbler of stuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537543127195801256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33548108.post-14316495871171340872008-12-07T17:55:00.000-05:002008-12-07T17:55:00.000-05:00So .. where's Scotia Plaza relative to Union Stati...So .. where's Scotia Plaza relative to Union Station?

As it turned out, the CSR I dealt with was actually helpful (bald French dude) and explained the fees breakdown etc. The only drawback was being dinged with a 1.29 exchange rate. I have to say, it was my first time at the Scotia Plaza and relatively pleased at the outcome.

I then explained to them that rumour had it that Scotia Bank received 30,000 ounces of silver that morning. The securities dept told them that ScotiaBank wouldn't sell them any silver. <BR/> Once again, I explained my position, and told them theat they were in "breach of contract" and that it was not acceptable. I was asked if I would like an explanation from TD's legal dept, to which I said yes.<BR/> Within the hour I received a call from the branch with a proposed compromise. I would purchase 100oz of silver from ScotiaBank, and TD would buy my certificate for the cost of the silver.<BR/> I agreed, and the next morning I purchased 100oz of silver, and brought the receipt to TD. Which they said that they would deal with during trading hours the next day. Everyone's happy right???<BR/> TD calls me this morning, and tells me that they won't refund me for the silver - They claim that they will not buy coins - only bars. (I wish they would have told me this earlier)<BR/> Long story short... I now have 100oz of physical silver being delivered by ScotiaBank next week, and a contract with TD that they refuse to honour....<BR/> LoW I send you a copy of my certificate to your hotmail address. Anyone else hold worthless silver certificates from TD that they want redeemed for silver? Any interest in a class action against TD? <BR/> I contacted the OSC today, and they don't know too much about these certificates, but they did give me some more leads. I contacted TD's ombudsman this afternoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33548108.post-80514676106670858982008-12-04T13:04:00.000-05:002008-12-04T13:04:00.000-05:00Finally, I hate dealing with Scotia but I will try...Finally, I hate dealing with Scotia but I will try my friends up in Richmond Hill.

But please bear with me; I've never been to the 'bank' to buy silver, but I'd like to understand it further.<BR/><BR/>I think you are buying maples as you have mentioned before that you collect and/or gift them. This price would be cost of each maple, in US dollars. Do you know if the Scotia silver was lower priced? By how much?<BR/><BR/>I am assuming that any difference between generic bars and maples would be the bank's mark-up. Added into that cost per maple. I am trying to understand how much the bank is adding to the price (over their 'high-volume' spot price per oz or their 'high volume' purchase price of maples from the mint). After all, 30,000 is kinda 'high volume'!<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your offering up the purchase details and would encourage that type of sharing so that we can compare cost and availability. I've been buying mostly sterling lately and have pretty much given up on the coin stores due to their price overhead;<BR/>just like the banks, sorta.<BR/><BR/>CHR.CHRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837509334683007340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33548108.post-14912664687132239692008-12-03T08:52:00.000-05:002008-12-03T08:52:00.000-05:0013.80 U.S. exchange rate. 1.27service fee 5.00Pst ...13.80 U.S. <BR/>exchange rate. 1.27<BR/>service fee 5.00<BR/>Pst 35.77<BR/><BR/>total 482, for 25 roundsCarter Apps, dabbler of stuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537543127195801256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33548108.post-15874988879990100672008-12-03T08:41:00.000-05:002008-12-03T08:41:00.000-05:00As usual, would love to hear the price breakdown o...As usual, would love to hear the price breakdown on what you paid for these Maples, relative to the US$ spot price at the time of purchase.<BR/><BR/>I still assume that I can't afford to purchase this way, given the premiums you are paying. That's before factoring in the cost of a trip to Toronto!<BR/><BR/>To this point, I still seem to be able to find folks who want to sell silver to me and that is the cheapest way of all to acquire it (set your own price, no GST/PST nonsense of dealing with a coin store, seller more likely to deal).<BR/><BR/>CHR.CHRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837509334683007340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33548108.post-53394538533266986082008-12-02T21:05:00.000-05:002008-12-02T21:05:00.000-05:00I only went to Scotiabank for silver once, and I f...I only went to Scotiabank for silver once, and I found the teller as irritating as you did. The transaction also took up pretty much my entire lunch hour. In comparison, my local coin dealer (Four Corners in Winnipeg) gives excellent service, can order stuff if you want to buy in bulk, and if you don't he generally has a decent selection of junk silver. I don't plan on dealing with Scotiabank again if I can help it.nitroglycolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030927753989623634noreply@blogger.com
