Check out the Cohen Mint business card in SHARKMANS post. No address. Just an 800 number and a web site.
Just so you know, this outfit operates under many names. According to the Better Business Bureau of NY, Cohen Mint is known by the following names:
1) The Cohen Mint,
2) E Cohen Minting,
3) E Cohen Mint,
4) You must be logged in to see this link.
and you can also order a rhodium coin from this site not listed on the BBB web site
5) You must be logged in to see this link.
All of these are the same company and they have a P.O. Box for an address. |

| What up CuproNickle? I only added my comments here since I ordered from Cohen Mint and am sharing my experience. I am sorry if my photos were not good enough for you. I know that the topic is Rhodium. Perhaps you would like to buy some of my PepperMint Rounds from Candyland? Lighten up man, I am just trying to help. |

| i know a lot of you guys are not very happy right now and i would be mad also if this had happened to me. I am no mod or admin but would appreciate as a fellow member if we chill out a little. I mean New guys if your a shill please dont spam the forum. And if your not I welcome you! I just feel like some of the comments are getting out of hand. I am not trying to take up for anything but the forum. This is in a section were anyone including possible new members can see and it could discourage new member from joining thinking they may get attacked if they join. Thanks spencer |

I see this as a necessary service to the new members. This thread is about helping out the "other" guy, including new members. People have every right to be upset and post their feelings here. I'm not sure that asking real nice will get the spammers and "shills", not saying anyone here is a "shill" or whatever, to stop posting.
I would think this would incourage new members to join. It shows that, should something shady happen, the rest of us are here for them.

p.s. Want to take bets as to when, not if, this thread will be locked, deleted, edited, or something like that? It tends to happen just as things are getting somewhere.... |

I do not think Sharkman and mes are shills. Both say they received product OTHER THAN Rhodium coins, and these products have a history of being produced and supplied. Given that Rhodium is very hard to work with by all accounts, it is quite possible Cohen ran into production problems (speculation only) and can't supply.
Obviously the lack of communication or performance is a big problem. Someone is making changes to the website to remove payment methods as there methods of collecting money evaporate so we know someone is home.
I see no reason to lock or delete the thread. It is great that people can share their actual experiances with each other here. I do ask that everyone show respect and try to refrain from attacking other members though.
How can we work collectively to solve the problem? Can everyone post all the info they have on the operation - address, email address, numbers, owner name etc. Then pool the info to apply pressure, maybe do small claims court filing or ???

This was posted 2 days ago at the GoldIsMoney forum. Another satisfied Cohen Mint customer trying to get their money back. Looks like Paypal is not refunding as fast as they did for me.
"Paypal has ruled in my favor, but says they cannot guarantee my money back. We'll see if Cohen steps up."

Neat coins. I wish I had one like I paid for :)
Regarding "Cohen is a small guy and isn't responsive" 99% of the people on this forum are technically small guys in the coin sales game and yet they are responsive.
How does Cohen think he/she is going to get his business from "small" to "not as small" by ignoring CUSTOMER requests?
STRACH, there are a lot of people here who would likely still buy a Rhodium if one were REALLY offered, I would recommend if you are trying to move a few that you post on our "B/S/T" forum.
NOTE: I'm pretty sure you will need to send first, but there are a LOT of people with 20+ references here so you will be safe. |

Just for the info. Inactive ebay account. You must be logged in to see this link.
No activity there since July. Who's Bob? Another name? Perhaps an employee? More likely an alias....
I personally still question the purity of his products after all of this.

Concerning Cohen Mint rhodium coins, My order dated Dec. 2, 2009 arrived today, Wednesday, February 17, 2010. I paid for the order by personal check.
Their customer communications have a LOT to be desired.
Production is one thing, letting the customer know where they stand is another, very important thing.
The 1/4 oz. rhodium coins are not yet available--only the on gram coins.

I found this site by an internet search. I had about come to the conclusion that I would have to turn this over to the postal inspectors. About two weeks ago, I wrote a letter to The Cohen Mint, P. O. Box 102, Brooklyn, NY 11229 stating that I had not received my order or a reply to my e-mails or telephone calls. I enclosed a copy of my invoice and the front and back of my check.
I received my order Wednesday, Feb. 17 by Priority Mail with a Pitney Bowes label.
I don't have a clue why their client communications are so poor.
Don't waste your time with e-mails and phone calls--write them.

I have a large inventory of high-grade, foreign banknotes and a small quanity of U. S. banknotes. Also a very large quanity of modern U. S. silver, gold and platinum singles and sets (unc. and proof) from an estate that I purchased two years ago which I have held off the market due to my believe that the next price increases will exceed the previous highs. My opinion--we all have one.
I have a new eBay store and plan to add items this weekend.
I will post that eBay store site if that is allowed on this discussion group. Someone let me know.
Now as to The Cohen Mint rhodium coins. I had originally ordered one, 1-gram coin and one 1/4 ounce coin. When I received my order last Wed. (2/17/10), I received nine 1-gram coins with a note: "[1/4 ounce troy] Still not in production. We flled the 1/4 oz coin order with 8 * 1 gram. RL" I actually came out better if you do the math. I personally doubt that they'll ever mint the 1/4 ounce coin due to the "physically difficult" nature of rhodium.
Anyone wishing to buy the 1-gram coins should do a search on eBay. I know that they are for sale from realiable dealers.
Pardon the long message, but I'll pass on an observation that I received from a marketeer a long time ago: People that aren't interested will barely glance at your ad, but people that are interested will read every word and wish that you had written more.

Wayne, you can post your "ebay links" in the market place "other sites" page.
It's also fine to put a signature with some coin related site links. So you can do that as well. |

| E Cohen should burn in a pile of cheap metal. I would never accept any round carrying his mint mark as being pure or legitimate. Might as well change its name to "Fake Metal Mint" because that represents your resale value. |
Just my two cents! |

Actually the same nagging thought occurred to me, so I intend to send one coin off for a X-ray fluorescence analysis.
I can get this done at no cost.
About a year ago I wondered why I couldn't buy rhodium bars, so being
hard-headed led to this.

It is because this thread ranks high in Google for key words like rhodium and Cohan. |
