BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 10:23 am Thanks to the internet and its unlimited knowledge, these sort of deals prove hard to come by in my area. Everybody seems to "know" the value of everything and will not part with it unless they receive that plus 50%. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21645 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 11:22 pm I have been junk box hunting for over 40 years for ANYTHING numismatically valuable or interesting, and above all, excellent value for money at the time of purchase. Normally, I go for the cherries only. The results of this type of collecting forms the main bulk of my collection. In current terms, almost all of the coins in my collection have a value of around $5 or more. To accumulate this type of collection, you need to have a reasonably good general knowledge of numismatics. Those with specialist knowledge are the people from who I draw upon to increase my own knowledge. The CCF is an excellent forum for my own needs. Report this Post to the Staff
