  Tell you what, I'll buy two of them if you do and we can figure out whats what......I am guessing circ silver pre 1964 and post 1946.

  Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

  IMHO, all of these blind envelopes, grab bags, unsearched (by whom?) lots, are another word for SCAM.

  One buyer left this mystery lot seller a neutral feedback for a less than thrilling coin selection, this seller then returned two very nasty negative feedback's, given his receptiveness to criticism, that says a great deal about him and in turn his secret mystery lots.

  All it is is a mystery. You have no guarantees as to what you are going to get. Besides, he even tells you that he took coins out.

  The whole "I have Muscular Dystrophy" thing makes me sick. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't but I read the whole ad and he definitely works all the angles.

  I Just got my two mystery envelopes........woooohooo, I am rich. NOT
  
  Envelope number one; an XF/AU 1964 Dime and a 1956 BU penny, complete with PVC on the reverse upon initial inspection.
  
  Envelope number two; an AG 1913 Liberty Dime and a full G 1908 Nickle.
  
  I got a free envelope, which is where I struck it rich; a 2004 P Peace Reverse Nickle and a 2004 D Peace Reverse Nickle, and a strong VF and very crusty 1943 steel penny.
  
  Scam, yeah, I knew it going in, but figured, $17 for two, with delivery, I can take one for the team and at least post it.

  Rip off is right! They are put together for people who think their going to get a great deal but usually the buyer pays more for the contents than the contents are really worth. IMO.
  
  The only one who gets the great deal is the seller!
