One thing that always bugs me about these type of lots is the inclusion of gimmicky junk like copper bars and the gold flakes. I must admit that huge pile of Morgans is quite impressive though.

The pics of the Morgans are "represenitive" of the actual lot. Looks like over 1/2
the weight is copper. Wouldn't touch it.

I noticed the black bag in with the "flakes" to make it look bigger... I did notice a picture that had some copper poured bars in it but couldn't find it in any other photos... so I guess some are stock photos like the morgans.... I would be seriously upset to pay all that money and there not be a table of morgans there...

Typical government speech. We'll sell it but if you don't like it when you get here tough. Besides, like CoinsKelly posted  |

why is it .com and not .gov if it is government? just wondering.
seems like the lot is up to 26k already. wowzers. looks like its mostly been 3 people fighting for it since I looked at it when it was at like 20k. they must have money to gamble I guess. who knows maybe they will get lucky and make some amazing finds and they will hit a home run on it. probably not though.

They're an independent, for-profit contractor serving government agencies. |

The listing indicates what's in it - and they buyers may have been at the inspection last Tuesday... - Morgan Silver Dollar(28lbs)
- Eisenhower Dollars (30lbs)
- Buffalo/Indian Head Nickels (27lbs)
- Wheat Pennies(24lbs)
and enough of "Silver Bars, Washington quarters, American Silver Eagle Dollars, & Collectible Coins & Stamps." to make up 80#. Oh wait - 28+30+27+24 = 109 - so there must be negative 29 pounds of the other stuff... Seriously 450 common date Morgans plus 480 40% silver Ike are worth what?
