Lol...one quick look at the first page of his auctions and you see the same theme over and over. I took a look at the collection found in "old jars" and for some reason, every jar looks brand spanking new. Hmm...
One member of my family runs a live country auction. There's a guy that comes to the sales and picks old tins, the more battered the better. He fills them with beaten up coins world/Canada/US and watches them fly off the tables at his perpetual yard sales. It's not uncommon to see him bidding on junk (holed, bent) large cents so he can seed his tins with them.
I guess it's a living. He just claims they're an old tin full of coins, nothing else. I've probably sold him hundreds of bent or damaged silver coins at melt over the years and I know for a fact he orders those world coins by the pound from Colonial.
Some people just have more imagination than others.
