They are real proud of this lot ain't they. I can see myself paying that much for mostly common date wheaties.

Each And Every Lot Is Guaranteed To Contain:


Half Pound (8 full ounces) of U.S. coins dating prior to 1961 from crates shown #9830;= mostly just some common date wheat cents

At least Three ounces of the 8 ounce lot will be solid 90% silver coins #9830; = Junk coins of approximately 2.7 ozs raw silver

At least One 80+ year old US silver dollar in every third lot purchased #9830; = a worn out 1923 Peace dollar if you order 3 lots

That is what I get from this listing.

Look at the feedback, though. 1974 transactions over the last year, just two neutrals and two negatives and a top-rated seller; he's doing something right with his lots, but I agree they are not "unsearched". How can you guarantee a Silver dollar in every 3 lots in an unsearched lot? The way I read "nothing prior to 1961" means some 1959 and 1960 Memorials could be in there, plus Jeff nickels up to 1960 (many of which are common)

A half-pound is about a handful or less. He's going to guarantee a silver dollar to leap into his hand when he dips into this unsearched grab? O-o-kay! And to think I've been wasting all my money @$6.50 a pound on 40-pound bags that I can search through before I pay for what I keep ...

Well, from the pictures, I can see a Bust Half, a Twenty-Cent Piece, and some Seated Liberty coins. However, that means nothing when you see many wheaties and jeffersons.

just figured I would post the info since it will be gone in 100 days.


1/2 Pound Obsolete USA Coin Lots
Hosted by Suncoins LLC!

**Please see additional pictures below this items description**

The Description:
Just in time for the holiday and winter collecting season, we recently acquired
several large crates of obsolete US coins from a local collector that fell on hard
times. Rather than separate all the silver, copper and nickel coins like we have
in our listed auctions, we decided to sell these off exactly as they came in.

These mixed denomination obsolete US coins are now being offered here for your consideration in large 1/2 pound units (lots). These lots are being sold exactly as
we purchased them totally unsearched by us. I was guaranteed by the previous
owner that all coins date prior to 1961. A bit skeptical myself, we did check a few random handfuls and it appears the information was correct (nothing past 1960
was found)!

In the samples, we observed coins dating all the way back to the late 1800's and
early 1900's up to 1960. All denominations were present from cents to dollars.
Many of the coins are in surprisingly nice condition considering they are ALL
50 to 100+ years old!

As we want to make this much better than a typical "treasure hunt" we will offer
a few guarantees as listed below!

Each And Every Lot Is Guaranteed To Contain:
#9830; Half Pound (8 full ounces) of U.S. coins dating prior to 1961 from crates shown #9830;
#9830; At least Three ounces of the 8 ounce lot will be solid 90% silver coins #9830;
#9830; Mix of all coin denominations from cents to halves #9830;
#9830; On average each lot will contain 50 to 60 Coins (based on samples) #9830;
#9830; At least One 80+ year old US silver dollar in every third lot purchased #9830;

As we generally do not sell single coins, please do not ask for specific dates as this
is a random lot offering exactly as we purchased it. We do however offer other
listings such as Large Estates, All Silver Lots, Rolls, Bullion, Proof Coin Lots
and other bulk items as they become available.

Check out our other auctions running now by clicking on this link!

Shipping & Handling:
$ 3.50 for the first lot and only $ 1.00 per each additional lot.

Because of ebay checkout, we can not combine S&H with our other auctions



Really? How can you guarantee that you will have the following in each lot without searching those boxes?:

Each And Every Lot Is Guaranteed To Contain:
#9830; Half Pound (8 full ounces) of U.S. coins dating prior to 1961 from crates shown #9830;
#9830; At least Three ounces of the 8 ounce lot will be solid 90% silver coins #9830;
#9830; Mix of all coin denominations from cents to halves *Coughs*#9830;
#9830; On average each lot will contain 50 to 60 Coins (based on samples) #9830;
#9830; At least One 80+ year old US silver dollar in every third lot purchased #9830;



Now I see some *Coughs*Scammers*Coughs*

Folks who have been "taken" don't want the world to know their "fool status" and shrug it off as a lesson learned.

I can't see the listing or feedback right now, but how many "repeat" customers does the seller have? That would be telling.
