DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/16/2011 3:50 pm I wonder that too--it might be fun to search bulk coins that are older than post-1950 pre-Euro stuff that's basically worthless. Report this Post to the Staff
LastGold Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 09/16/2011 3:55 pm ccw: You can get world coins very cheaply on ebay. Just two weeks ago, I bought two 5 lb bags of coins, (each containing right at 500 coins). Each 5 lb bag was $39.59 - making the total cost of every coin about 8 cents apiece! I got coins from about 80 different countries, in those 2 five pound bags! A real blast to go thru! Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/16/2011 4:20 pm Here's another thread on the subject. Given current silver prices, I would expect any bulk coins to sorted for older silver, but better copper coins might get bypassed. Report this Post to the Staff

Did that include shipping because that is what I see as being a real drag for the price per common coin. I love these grab bags and I never get any silver but I can add sometimes 100 coins to my collection. However, when you only get 100 coins from $40 plus shipping it is a lot more than just 8 cents a piece - more like 45 cents which in most cases in more than the catalog value of the coin but I still do it because I can get more types added to my collection. My problem now is that all of these grab bags seemingly come from a single source so the chances of adding anything after the first couple of bags gets slimmer I think Report this Post to the Staff
LastGold Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 09/16/2011 8:51 pm weavus: The $39.59 was the total (including the shipping). Each bag contained just over 500 coins, (one 510 - the other 517). There were about a dozen culls, in each bag, and no silver coins. About 20% of the coins were older than 1950. Checking my newly purchased Krause manual - I found lots of coins with value listings of .25 or higher, and even some $1.00 - $3.00 coins. (one lot had a 1905 Liberty head nickel in it! A pretty good selection overall. Report this Post to the Staff
