Have you ever bought a rare coin....

And paid with a large amount of circulated SBAs and Sacs??? I have several hundred right now and I am either going to deposit them or take them to the Whitman show in Atlanta. Would it offend dealers if I showed up with a bag full and dumped them on their case and bought a nice Morgan or Buffalo?

Edited to say: This was supposed to a bit be funny....I would not dump the coins...they would at least be in rolls!

You're not going to get any more than face out of them, so why lug the bags around at a show. For your sake, and the dealer you buy from, take them to the bank and deposit them and take bills to the show.

I had a customer buy a 600.00 with Kennedys, I told him to take them to the bank and buy something good
He got there after the bank closed.....so he says

I wouldn't be happy if you attempted to dump several hundred dollars worth of Sac-bucs and SBAs on my table. You would be obscuring the view of coins beneath the glass, would be distracting the dealer, would require the dealer to count out the loose coinage and then are imposing the inconvenience on the seller to haul all the coinage away and deposit it himself. I'm certain some dealers would love this scenario, but I would tell you to come back with a more convenient form of payment.

and this seems to be the real problem with getting the dollar coins to circulate... they are neat... but just not convenient.

I would not actually do this...it was supposed to be funny! I hate carrying anything to shows that can't fit in my pocket....let alone moneybags!

Is that a roll or SACs or are you just excited about that nice Morgan or Buffalo?

True, but dealers would have the same bellyache over someone who showed up at their table with $1000 in $1 bills. A few are fine, but not in large quantities.

I bought a common, modern coin/set and paid with rolls of 2003 nickels (back in 2003) because I had them and I didn't like the dealer (but was buying the item from him).

Hmmm....so I guess I should just find a dealer that no one likes huh??? Feel free to check the dealer list and pm me with your selection!!

I remember Moe saying that on the Simpsons. Don't forget that he was pumping his double barreled shotgun as he was saying it.

Rarity

Is the 2006-W platinum unc considered a rare coin ?

If not, how about 1906-D $20 Liberty in PCGS-63 Or a brown toning 1943 Mercury dime in NGC-66 Or 1908 $20 NM Saint in PCGS-63?

Now I'm into Satin finished SACs and I love them

kinda a funny question when you think about it a bit.
even paying for a 1000 dollar coin in 2s or 5s would be considered bad style?

i guess coin collectors all walk around shows with 1000 dollar bills ;-)

What dealer at the Atlanta show do you want me to use this approach with??? (just for the fun of it)I will now accept private messages!

What about $2 bills? I like paying dealers in pks of 2's. Not one has said no either. I guess they don't think I know enough to look at them first.

Sure, I will pay 15% back of bid for them.
