They came in the folder. There was actually a second folder just like it, but only 20 or so of the coins were filled in, and they were duplicates of what was in the first folder. Also, that folder was in poor condition, so I took the coins out of it.

Nice grab! Craigslist adds here are so polluted with WTB that I can't find any sellers. Great job!

Theirs only three dimes that carry premium, everything else is only three or four dollars, still a great grab. I would keep the dimes for silver value and the Walking Liberty halves...that's one of my favorite coins. |

Man! I would do that deal all day long! (I've stopped even looking at Craigslist due to all the ridiculous ads they have there now). Good pickup!  |

Great deal, thank you for posting very good pics. It's refreshing to see a positive craigslist story after the many recent bad experience threads!

Thanks for the comments guys. Our craigslist is flooded with "want to buy" ads as well, and most "want to sell" adds are just a link to some online dealer selling at a premium. I think I caught this ad right when it got posted. When I was looking at the coins his phone was ringing every 5 minutes and I could hear the people on the other end of the phone wanting to buy the coins.

Check the halves for tougher dates, like 38-D and anything before 1933 is a little better than melt and jackpot time if you got a 1921 P or D in there! Mercury dimes: the 1931 dated coins are starting to garner more than melt, especially 1931-D and 1926-S is also becoming a semi-key date |

Didn't find anything exciting in the halves, but did find 2 1928-D's in the Mercury dimes (4.2 million minted). Edited by dch828

I buy alot of silver of CL. I pay 90% of melt and seem that sellers are willing at that price. Today I was going through some Mercury dimes I bought and I found a 1916, I turned it over and saw a mintmark. I was very excited for a minute, but it was an S not a D. Still a nice grab at 90% of melt. |
