FSH-------------2 bags of wheaties. $200 each shipped

I have 2 bags--5000 coins in each---$200 each shipped. I think these are just plain old wheat bags, nothing special, but I have not checked them.

Only 1 bag left.

    Don't take this the wrong way, but why haven't you checked them?

    Because I have 16 other bags that I havent checked yet. I just bought these yesterday from my B&M dealer. I buy ALL the wheaties that he gets. We have an agreement that he just bags up all the coins when they come in without checking. I pay $200 a bag when he would usually just wholesale these for $180. So he does less work and makes an extra $20. He is just a one man shop that does ALOT of gold scrap business and he has no time to check the bags. Sometimes I pull 500-800 coins from the bags that I would consider to be better---UNCs, S-mints, teen, 20's, 30's sometimes an error like a clip. I do not check for over mintmarks.

    He told me on these particular bags that he thought they were mostly 40's and 50's but I havent opened the bags and cannot verify. I am just blowing them out at cost--actually losing shipping, but thats the cost I pay to ensure that I get access to every lincoln cent that comes in the shop.

    I do have other bags that I have opened and they appear to have a very good mix of teens, 20's, 30's ect. These I will sell for $250.


    So in short to answer your question. I simply have no time. If this was winter and it was dark at 5pm, I would be able to catch up. I just cant do it now.
