How many coins in YOUR collection came from BST?

Is BST a viable source for you?

"Is BST a viable source for you? "

Yes

mirabela · February 8, 2018 2:38PM

Thirty-six, according to my records.

spacehayduke · February 8, 2018 3:23PM

Sold many on the BST, never bought, never found a coin I wanted, but I will keep looking.

Best, SH

One.

Edited to add a photo, as suggested later in the thread. Thanks @Boosibri.

I just buy to sell and sell to buy. I traded a few I loved, in my days. Never have found my niche.

Dave99B · February 8, 2018 4:02PM

Very few....maybe a dozen or so?

Most are PCGS Barber halves from my friend Mike Hayes. Needless to say these are very special coins.

I have a few.
I usually miss the good stuff because I don't patrol the BST 24/7.

I do enjoy adding a BST pickup to my Registry set and giving credit to the forum member in the comment section.

topstuf, Change the title to include "post yours" to get an idea of what has been bought there.

Good idea

I love that PL Dollar!

I’ve bought perhaps a dozen directly from the forum but maybe another 20 through contacts here that weren’t publicly offered.

I have sold about a dozen coins on the BST as well.

I think you need an option between “a few” and “lots and lots”. Perhaps just “a lot”?

MilesWaits · February 8, 2018 7:55PM

Every good thing from a PO1 to a 70 DCAM. Lost count. All good times.

OnlyGoldIsMoney · February 8, 2018 8:09PM

I have purchased perhaps 10. This one is surely a favorite.

Tunis · February 8, 2018 8:23PM

Very good option for me. Bought a Franklin half just recently. Used an EBay link to buy a roll of wheat pennies. Found a Bust Half I needed and almost completed my fathers Peace Dollar set with a huge purchase.

TomB · February 8, 2018 8:26PM

My collection is a far bit smaller than many other collections represented here, but my records indicate five-coins currently in the collection came from the PCGS BST over the 20+ years I have been active on these boards. In my opinion, that is a pretty good success rate!

jedm · February 8, 2018 9:02PM

The only one I bought on the BST here I like so much that it's my icon.

TennesseeDave · February 9, 2018 6:44AM

I have bought and sold several and have never had anything but excellent results.

ricko · February 9, 2018 6:48AM

I do not have a record of how many I have purchased from the BST, but it has been several... I find the BST to be an excellent source and have always had good transactions...I highly recommend it...Cheers, RickO

lcoopie · February 9, 2018 7:05AM

Agree with the last two posters

I’m selective and avoid any new arrivals.

1630Boston · February 9, 2018 7:08AM

May not be considered a "coin" since it weighs 16 ounces, but I found this on the BST

giorgio11 · February 9, 2018 7:09AM

It depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

Kind regards,

George

topstuf · February 9, 2018 7:59AM

I love the one I got on BST here.

Also the one that came from a ...lead... FROM a BST post.

But I still remember the one I got and it was a hassle communicating and even though I got it finally, I would never try returning it due to the difficulty of the transaction in the first place.

But... I can still remember the bust dollar I "thought too long" on. It was sweet and I dithered. It got me to looking at the BST more often though.

ChrisH821 · February 9, 2018 8:24AM

61 I think.. Most of that is from buying rolls though.

toyz4geo · February 9, 2018 10:00AM

Not lots and lots, more like quite a few...... well, maybe it is lots and lots.

Cameonut · February 9, 2018 10:30AM

About a dozen, Is that a few or lots and lots?

BillyKingsley · February 9, 2018 10:32AM

A few...not many...far more on the world coin side. I like a wide variety of cheap stuff and that is not something that comes up here that often.

I have bought a couple of pounds of assorted mixed modern world coins that I think came from here, so the number is probably in the three digits. But specific single coins is probably only about 10. One just came in last week.

SamByrd · February 9, 2018 10:49AM

I have bought several great coins from BST sellers. Sold a few and traded as well. Its a great resource my aviator came form an BST buy. I have bought well over a hundred coins about a third of my Ike set came from the BST.
