999fine Pillar of the Community United States 1346 Posts	Posted 04/29/2017 03:46 am I've been neglecting my WW type set for a while which I mostly have built from coin mixtures. I recently bought a 4+lb mix for around $7 a pound (including shipping) and as I was sorting became quite pleased with my purchase. Then I found this : Latvia KM1, 1928 1 santum in what looks to be a high AU state. ebay sales in similar state including postage run around $10. K&M prices are, as usual, much higher. Tomorrow I'll post scans of some better, but not this good, coins from the lot. I haven't made a coin count yet, but figuring 100 +/_ coins per pound, this works out to be a bargain lot. A rough count of new coins or definite improvements tally at just under 100 coin additions. Lots of traders, nice coins too. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5255 Posts	Posted 04/29/2017 06:16 am Good find! As a WW collector for some time,I no longer find mixtures productive, unfortunately. I need to pick and choose. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/01/2017 4:59 pm Not sure I understand the parameters that would qualify a find for this thread? Anything in a mixed world lot? Bulk, poundage lots only? This is one of my most visually pleasing hauls, scraped together from about 8 lots being sold as an "estate sale" ($200 for all of these and maybe 75 other coins) No images, but I have found some Hutt River coins in poundage lots, and an exchange lot of Japanese Yen coins that turned out to be a collection; a full set of BU 50 and 100 yen (up to 1993) and every base metal commemorative from 1970-1998.

999fine Pillar of the Community United States 1346 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 5:37 pm I envisioned unexpected finds in bulk lots such as poundage mixtures or say 1000 worldwide coins. I realize this won't be an active thread. If you think your find might belong, then it does :) Report this Post to the Staff
999fine Pillar of the Community United States 1346 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 5:40 pm oriole: I completely understand. This lot added 100+/- new coins or major improvements, much better than most I have purchased. Report this Post to the Staff
Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 10:39 pm I've bought many many lbs of world coins, some are dud lots and others have yielded a good deal of $50+ coins. best I did was $100ish on a rare low grade portugal issue. My avatar also came from a bulk lot. After a good deal of research I found it to be a challenge token from a high school fraternity from the turn of the century. 7 issued. not terribly valuable, but the history/story alone made it one of the most rewarding pieces I've come across.
