    Without trying to jump on the newbie, Phillster, if you expect people to take you seriously you need to make reasonable offers.
    Do you even know what these dates are worth?

    How about this, I'll offer 2X what you're offering for the same coins! image

    Except for the quarters, I have some AU that I'll send you for .35 plus $5 for the S/H/Postage.
    $6.05 total. Deal?

    More friendly advice for Phillster:

    You need to take some time and do a little homework to see what the coins you are interested in are selling for. If you post many more threads that end up like this one, you'll find that people aren't interested in selling you anything because it's a waste of time - you won't pay what their items are worth.

    I suggest you begin by looking on eBay at some closed listings of coins you're interested in. Look at what other people are paying for those coins (including shipping, which has to be figured in to the final cost). If you're not willing to pay around fair market value for coins, you're in the wrong hobby.

    That was all meant in a friendly manner, and I hope you'll take it that way.

    Coin values are also determined by grade, you know. A 1938 nickel in G condition is worth quite a lot less than one in MS-66.

    If your coins shop ever does get those dates in, buy 2 of each at those prices.
    I'll buy 1 at 2x what you have listed, effectively making the ones you keep FREE! image
    How can you beat that?

    A 38-S Jefferson, for instance, is a $2 coin in the lowest possible grade. Get up into mint state and we're into the $5-6 range and up.

    So, like others are saying -- not necessarily expensive coins, but what you're offering is all out of whack. The dollar amounts may not be large, but offering 25 cents for a $2 coin is not really any different than offering $250 for a $2,000 coin. That is, it's either ignorant, insulting, or crooked.

    Best of luck --
