... Although they will definitely have to be earned. I have yet to get any pics, but was able to spend $500 (three paychecks this month) and score a ton of lots of coins! Some weren't the best deals since I couldn't get great looks at them while they were in the bags, but a few made it worth it! A few notable bummers were $2.15 in Seated Liberty coinage (I thought an 1854 quarter was about VF-XF... And it was on the obverse only the reverse was basically gone but will be able to get $60 back for paying $100), a "civil war" lot (with 7 flying eagles, some 2 cent pieces and a 3 cent piece will only be able to make my $100 back), and a lot of 173 1910-1919 wheat pennies (paid $40 because I wasn't paying attention and I will be lucky to make half that back. Only saving grace was finding a 1909 and a 1933D in the bag of teen wheats). The ones that make it worth though are a lot of 21 large cents I bought for $100 and will be able to make back about double that and a lot of $8 face Barber coinage I will get about $50 back from. Lastly, I got a lot of foreign coins and notably found a Mauritius 10 rupees (mintage 50k commemorative), "Samoan Visit by the Pope" dollar (35k commemorative) and a 1928 Chinese Honan copper cash coin (not worth much but an awesome dollar sized copper coin. Will try to get pics up as I continue to go through it all! Thanks for tuning in!

Well I might have to start looking for bulk lots in future because it sounds so much fun to have bags full of stuff to rummage through.

You must be like a kid at Christmas looking through it all, inspecting each coin, noting what you have and looking them up.

It's that sort of stuff that got most of us hooked in the first place.

@Dave, it is exactly like that! Sorry all, will have to wait until tonight for pics. Another cool thing... I found what looks to be an 1844/81 large cent! First ever error that I have actually noticed! lol

Thanks, the plan is to make my money back selling as little as possible (which since I got the few dud lots will still be a ton of coins) and then keep as many of the type/foreign coins that I don't have. Lots of work but a bunch of free coins makes it worth it!
