Can anyone recommend a good commercial grade coin counting machine to buy?

I occasionally buy collections that have a large numbers of coins. Thousands of coins -- or tens of thousands +.

Can anyone recommend a commercial grade coin counter that will accurately count and eject into a bag or a bin (not rolled)?

    Brandt makes most of the stuff that banks use. Do an online search for used banking equipment, buy from a dealer that will back it. In your area, it wouldn't be hard to get service. Of course, you can buy new, I don't know the costs for the commercial stuff.

    If you can't find a dealer PM and I'll look one up.

    This is a standard design, mine is rio, but they are all the same machine marketed under different company names. Cost is around 425

    Very durable and reliable I had one in the store when I sold it to the new buyers, but bought another since then.

    Are you looking for something that sorts as well? Or just counts? I've got a lot of experience with large amounts of coins and counters... the faster, higher-ed ones are expensive, and usually somewhat fragile. You might be better off sorting and weighing. >>



    Huh. I never thought of simply sorting and weighing. Not a bad idea. Thanks. It wouldn't be exact, but coin counters aren't 100% exact either.

    And thanks to the others who made recommendations. I will follow up on those too.
