Can't tell you how many times I see a scarce coin bundled in with a handful of complete junk. I've contacted sellers to see if they'd split up the lot, but they never do. I don't mind paying a premium for a coin I want, but when I have to get a bunch of coins that I'd never be able to sell, it makes it difficult.

It would all depend on what I wanted and the price. Id buy a lot for 1 coin if the price was right

As long as the cost of the lot does not exceed either the spot value or the value of the 1 coin I want I will buy lots in a heartbeat.
Sometimes you get the unexpected gem in coin lots.
I bought this the other day for a bit over spot when I bought it but now it is less than spot
There is 1 hard to get coin in there "1915 florin" I also noticed a 1927 Canberra florin ( My favorite coin)So I am happy so far ( I haven received the coins yet)There may be other gems in here

Kind of a trick question. Mostly I buy because I want the whole lot. But IF there was that one rare coin in there by chance I would definitely take a stab at it.

But MOST average sellers are getting a smidgin bit smarter now, with at least "googling" rare coins and values....
