One way to drive your dealer crazy-

Package your bag of 90% common date circulated dimes individualy in 2x2 paper holders with four staples on all sides and then put them in tight fitting plastic sheets 20 to a page, double some up for tight fit!

It is a recipe for arthritis bloody fingers and a sure low ball offer on your next 90% lot..heh...

And yes, it happens a few times a year-

O-well

    1. Get a cast iron strainer.
    2. Put coin-laden plastic sheets in strainer.
    3. Build fire under strainer (don't breath the fumes!)
    4. When the plastic sheets and 2x2s have burned up, use a hose to cool the coins and strainer.
    5. Remove coins from strainer.
    6. Profit!

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Another way to do it: Haggle them down to their absolute rock bottom price which leaves them little profit...and then whip out your credit card.
