I have bought large lots before but gave it up since you very rarely find anything of value. These are usually made up by people who need to get rid of large quantities of coins. The vast majority are duplicates of very minor and inexpensive coins. I would buy bags from coin dealers at their shops because sometimes they put good stuff in there to get you to return and buy more.

Well I am still sorting so I cant say how many different countries I have gotten so far. I have found only one silver coin so far. Also about 6 or so coins from the 1800's. I have found several coins worth a couple of dollars and one worth around $85 which I was pretty happy about. I will update soon.

I've bought at least four of those bags. I've gotten two from equity coins. I paid $250 for two bags, which included shipping. Most of the coins that you get are from countries that converted to the Euro. They always have a lot from Spain. However, I've found lots of coins that are worth a $1 - $10. I've found a dozen or so silver coins. I've found a few french coins that are worth $40 - $50 each.

Of course you get lots and lots of duplicates. But the good thing is that you can pick out the best quality for your collection. I've now got quite a few pounds of coins that I need to sell, and I've got lots to trade.

These are the base of my world coin collection, that includes over 5,000 unique coins (country, denomination, date, mintmark) in my world coin collection.

I'm getting ready to buy 2 more.

Yea, my bag also contained a lot of coins from Spain and France. I still need to finish going through a few more countries and I will be done. France is one of the countries I still need to go through. Maybe I will find another good coin or two. BenVA
