....and saw an older gentleman sitting at a table in front of a large metal tin full of world coins priced at $.25 / each. He was going through them one by one and had picked out about 10 nice examples. I said to him, " that is going to take you all day" with a smile on my face. He replied, "I know, isn't it great."
Made my day. Hope he found some overlooked treasures. Has anyone plucked a nice coin from a bulk bin?

Ever made a nice cherry pick from a bulk lot? Why, of course I have. Couldn't begin to cite all the examples.

I have always struggled with this. Even if I ignore the "junk" boxes and focus solely on the glass display cases, I never seem to have enough time.

<< <i>Years ago a friend and I were looking through a bulk bin, 5/$1.00 type stuff. We were sitting next to each other. He looks over and gives me 'the look', he pulled a 19th C. taler out of the bin. LordM will know this late dealer not by name but by all the bulk lots I got from him a decade ago. >>
Indeed I do. He was a heckuva source for fun bulk bags.
