Would it be worth it to take a risk and pay $15 for a pound of foreign coinage not knowing what you will get except your guanteed a good mixture?

Thanks,

you can get it from some members here for less. Ajaan/Don sells by the pound on ocassion.

For $15.00 a pound you should be getting a fair amount of silver or lots of stuff in the 1800s and 1700s.

We occassionally sell a good mixture for $9-$10 a pound. Not much silver, but it's not diluted with a bunch of canadian pennies and mexican one pesos.

Alas, with the passing of Ed Nowak, my bulk days are gone.

Anyone ever buy one of those bulk Deutsche Bank sealed bags? There is a seller from NYC selling them in 1 kilo (22.5 lbs) for about $200. I imagine that most of those coins are mid to late 20th century stuff, tho.

I bought one of those Deutsche Bank bags on Ebay. Mine ran far less than $200 though... I think $148 shipped. It was a decent mix with good variety, but don't expect any silver or material earlier than about 1940.

I have bought 2 o3 Deutsche Bank bags and 1 from England. Not a lot of silver but many coins from the 1800's.

Of course many more from the 30-60's period.

I was giving about $150 or so including shipping but I think they have gone up a little now.

I ended up buying a pound of foreign coins for 16.20 with shipping and handling!

I dunno yet it is going to be fun to look though it when it comes in

Man, that's weird.

I could've sworn I just saw Wayne post here.

Nah, it couldn't be. Talk about rare yeti-like creatures...

Seems like $15/pound is pretty high. But then again, I guess that it is all what you get in relation to what you are looking for in the lot.

I know some people have looked at me kind of funny when I tell them what I have bought and at what price, but hey, that is why we all have our own collections, not some Commie Coin Collective.
