15 Grams Of World Coins - Selling In 15 gram lots. This is a new experimental style of selling on ebay which I am hoping to pioneer. So you will receive fifteen grams of world coins. The idea is to purchase multiple lots up to your desired amount. Coins from any country and any composition silver possible although not guaranteed. An additional $0.65 is added for each additional, thanks.

No way, a whole 15 grams!?!

15 grams is about ½ ounce.
Not much, particularly when you don't even know what you'll get.

Interesting business model.

So, that's $60 / pound. Pretty sure you can buy world coins in bulk for a fraction of that.

At 15 grams, seller can package it and slap a single first class stamp on it, also making money on the shipping (I would shipping cost at $0.70 assuming a stamp, envelope and some scotch tape). Probably over $2 net profit on each $3.95 sale, after taking off the fees.

I've probably got 10 pounds of common world coins hanging around. That's potentially $600.

Hmmm...

Nothing succeeds like success!
One of the fb mentions an 8 coin lot.

Maybe I'll give it a shot ... I've certainly got a few hundred coins like the ones pictured hanging around.
