Where do I find nice coins? Well honestly most of the coins I see aren't so nice, but I really try to target the top coins. Three days ago I stopped by a LCS and bought 15,000 Lincoln cents. There are bags, boxes, tubes, rolls etc. I start with anything BU before even thinking about the circulated stuff. If I run out of time and just have too much stuff, I can sell that stuff off unsearched, but I'm gonna look at every BU coin. But I do like to say that it's all about numbers. If rare coins are rare, then the more coins you look at the better your odds that at least one is rare. So I go through many, many thousands of Coins every year to find those few top grade rarities. And sometimes while I'm picking up Lincolns the dealer will have something else worth searching, like the 30 or so rolls of BU 1963 Jefferson nickels I bought at face value since he wanted rid of them. The FS-801 for that year has MS65 as top pop. Now I just have to go through them all and see if I get lucky. After that I move on to the next batch of BU coins. |

Hey Silvio! You wouldn't believe how many people sent me that news article when it came out. But I was working away from home seven days a week for 27 straight days. No way I could handle 7,000 pounds of Lincoln cents. Plus their price was too high at 2.5 cents per coin given that the bulk of them seemed like memorial cents.

No it is 2488 Kg (5473.6 pounds). The problem it is because is big quantity must be deliver by agreed security company and my friend who has moving company told me will be around 12K shipping. You are not the only one who receive those e-mails. GC Ian was flooded with from apparent friends LOL. On other forum someone ask me how many coins collectors and investors are interested on this? the answer it is 0 (zero)
No Trop I just joke with. Me I suggest to someone in CA who it is on PCGS forum and involve to put in bags of 1000 coins and sell, but the owners refused.
This it is the story.
Have a good sleep and forces recuperations..
