I was wondering if anyone here knew the best way to obtain this kind of bulk coinage in the United States, or at least any tips. Report this Post to the Staff

People just don't take coins in bulk, and they'll have some coins, but not that many as they'll try and get rid of them, unless they're going back again. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 04/01/2024 04:08 am Most coin dealers, even those who specialize in foreign coins, don't bother sorting their "bulk world" batches by country before on-selling them to either collectors or other dealers. That means that anyone who is selling bulk foreign coins sorted by country, is sitting down and meticulously sorting through hundreds of kilograms of world coins. As someone who has had to do that myself on occasion, I'd be quite happy to pay someone else to do it for me if I were interested in finding bulk quantities of a single country. These guys have some bulk lots of Czech coins, sorted by denomination, at US$85 for about 180 grams of coins - which makes your $110/kilogram seem pretty good value by comparison. It would probably be "cheaper" to get bulk lots of single-country coins from a European seller, but the extra postage from Europe probably isn't worth the hassle. Your other option - if you've got the time for it - is to buy a few bulk lots of mixed world coins, go through it yourself and fish out the Czech coins, then on-sell the unwanted coins to someone else. It's a gamble of course; this old thread from 2009 has a breakdown of the contents of a 10 kilogram bulk world coin bag I sorted through myself. Out of 2173 coins, there was a grand total of zero Czech Republic coins in that bag (though there were 6 from old Czechoslovakia).

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 04/01/2024 09:04 am I'd go the route of finding a friend in the Czech Republic. Go out to LinkedIn and mine your network -- you'll probably have half a dozen 3+ connections there and can then triangulate to make somebody a 1st degree connection. Then just very politely ask. You can easily send money to cover costs through a service like TransferWise. Or you could look for a coin dealer same way... -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 04/02/2024 06:10 am that your best option is probably to contact someone in Czechia. I wouldn't rule out asking a coin store; I agree with Sap that they might not have sorted bulk as such, but at least the Russian coin stores I've gone to usually had album pages full of Czech korunas (and I have no reason to assume this would not be the case for US coin stores), and I imagine those probably wouldn't sell very well and the store might be willing to sell you the entire batch at a discount. Back in 2016, a StackExchange answer for a similar question proposed asking for foreign coins at the currency exchange service of a big bank. This might have been plausible in 2016 (even then it was a stretch) but I'd be surprised if that's still realistic in 2024 (when so many people are switching to cashless transactions). Maybe still worth checking, though. Report this Post to the Staff
