Goodwin17 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 10/31/2012 10:51 am I was just looking at ebay, and I've noticed there are a lot of people selling mixed lots of coins at different pound weights. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever had any good results from buying one of these lots. Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 10/31/2012 5:14 pm A general rule will be that the lots have already been cherry picked for the great finds. There are lots that havent but unless you can see the coin in the pictures its pretty much impossible to separate them from the picked ones. If you really wanted one just bid on the value you can see and dont assume there is anything else there. You may get lucky and get it for the price you wanted and if not move on to the next.

Goodwin17 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 10/31/2012 8:19 pm Thank you for the advice. Right before I posted that I bought a small lot of world coins from ebay. Maybe they won't turn out too bad. It was a 1/4 pound, and the price was about $4. I'll probably just buy individual coins from now on. Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 11/01/2012 6:01 pm Those lots like that for that price arent a bad way to end up with some stuff you may not have been interested in or looked for otherwise. As long as you end up happy from it thats all that matters Report this Post to the Staff
trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 11/01/2012 6:19 pm I have bought some bulk silver lots on occasion and have found some absolutely stunning coins in them. It doesn't happen very often but when you do open up a package and spot a heap of MS coins sparkling like new stars amongst the dark and worn coins it is a really nice feeling Report this Post to the Staff
edgman Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 11/03/2012 10:53 am Here is an awakening about buying lots. Tell me the odds on this happening. Glad it wasn't valuable coins. Grandsons Jefferson 5 cent album. Needs to fill only 12 slots 1938 to 1964. Lot of common dates. Bought a lot of 39 different Jeffs '38 to '64 for 2.50 and 1.50 shipping. Out of the 39 different coins I was only able to fill 1 (one) slot! Still trying to determine what the odds of that happening were. edgman Report this Post to the Staff
