    They're all scams. Unfortunately, many of them work. So, no, I wouldn't take a chance on this item.

    Seriously though, no. This guy has a bit of a higher rating than one normally sees for these auctions, but still. NO! Coinvault would be a better value, and Coinvault is NEVER a value!

    i love how they always guarantee that you will get at least wl half, indian penny, wheat penny etc, in their "unsearched lot".

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    No- looks to me like you get about $10.00 worth of coins --61 wheat cents? That is almost half a pound already. I seriously doubt that they were unsearched and even if they were what are you going to find in only 61 pieces? The stuff in this auction can be found at any coin show or shop. He may not even have any inventory-if he gets orders he can just go to a nearby show or shop and pick that stuff up. Anyone living near a coin shop can run an auction like this with little or no inventory on hand...Better to figure out what you want and buy that then to go the grabbag route. JMHO. Bobimage
