Besides me being blind for the most part, I noticed a 1920 and a 1927S. The ones on the bottom I cant really make out most of the dates but I found it funny when it said they are unsearched, classic ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWNX:ITPaid a good 35-40 over melt so hopefully it pays off |

I remember perusing this lot briefly. Interesting. Usually they don't include holders with the slqs in their lots. I hope it works out for you. The coin labeled "1920" is not a 1920, but it looks like there might be a nice toned XF/AU hidden on the bottom

I've figured out that this group of sellers is actually Treasure Hunters Roadshow. Yes, the guys that have the 'shows' at hotels with the supposed 'experts'. They dishonestly buy up tons of silver and gold at rip off prices to deceive desperate people, and act like they're a legitimate agency with a big collector base. In reality they either melt down stuff, throw it on ebay (few people know about this apparently), or auction the big ticket items to major venues. Does anyone else know this? Needless to say, you can pick quite a bit of good stuff out of their auctions. I feel bad for the people who get ripped off, though. Edited by coinguybrian

Frank's definition: Unsearched: A way to sell stuff at a higher price. Technically, the term is meaningless to anyone who searches on ebay. To 'newbie' collectors, another term for ovrpriced junk. |

I have bought a couple times from these guys and have been pleasantly surprised. I found a 1913-s Barber dime in the lot. If they had properly searched the lot, they would have made note of it or at least post a better picture (where the obverse and reverse match up) and I also received some other better date coins. I have/had no idea how they obtained the coins in the first place, like shadow mentioned, they may have acqurired them in a less than honorable manner. However, my buying experience from them has been positive. YMMV. |

If its not a 1920, and I somehow dont like the lot I could always say it was not as represented and get my money back. Even though they have no returns You see umserached coins all over ebay and 99.99% are searched, they may not of been searched by the seller but probally by 2 or more people before it got to them |

I just received the lot today along with the other one I ordered. The lot was so so with alot of the coins being polished and the 1920 being a 1929 but I did find two nice coins. a 26d in vf and also a 28 in au so not a total loss. I being debating on whether to get a 100 dollar bag of these from APMEX but with silver as high as it is plus being about 1850 for the bag. |
