    Only with the BP and shipping factored in and even then that was still a good deal for him.

    Yeah I just got them for my PC, I wanna get a nice MS64 and up modern washington set going, or something along the lines of that. I guess whichever one in PCGSs registry best fits that.

    I agree, it does have some staining (why its probably not 70). In the future I will stay away from that. Its difficult buying graded silver bullion online because you dont know how many milk spots or how much staining till you get it in hand.

    I seems there are sooooo many coins at once that so many dont even sell because people dont see all of them. So its pretty nice to go to the $1-$250 section, type in price range $1-$5 and just get some nice coins.

    I have both the NGC and PCGS Price Guides on my smartphone, but I tend to go over to eBay and check a coin again the sold coins there. There are five coin shops in my area and I've actually got them to lower a coin's price for me by showing them what it sold for on eBay. I know brick and mortar stores have expenses, but so do eBay Sellers, a piece to eBay and a piece to PayPal and to stay competitive, free shipping.

    Concerning the CDN (Greysheet). I SELL, over the counter, at CDN bid for the majority of US coins. Of course there are many exceptions but you can imagine my buy prices compared to that.

    Sounds like you did pretty well. I don't see "EPIC" here, however.

    Speaking of cropping, would you please fix that crooked, chopped-off avatar? It bugs me.

    Triggers my OCD tendencies... ;)

    You got some "nice coins" nobody else wanted. I think you can sell them on eBay and maybe even make a small profit, but if you don't, then it's just a waste of time...

    Not here it ain't. Variety, etc. etc............when you grow up to real cherrypicking, come back ant post a few. And I might add that I ain't grown up enough yet. You got some real good buys though. :)

    This was my second-best cherrypick. Bought it in a bulk bag of Wheaties for less than a nickel. Sold for over $700, if I remember correctly. The coin was a bit grungy when found in the source bag, and had a piece of dirt covering the mintmark. A light Vaseline rub to remove the grime, and a toothpick to remove the crud from the crevices, and ... presto! "D" doesn't just stand for "dirt"! :)

    I would've thrown a bone to the person who sold it to me, except I had mixed two or three bulk lots together, so I don't know which source lot it came from.

    Not a waste of time if I wanted them in my collection is it?

    Collection? That Koala coin sure looks like Bullion to me (SP69/.9999 silver)... it's good that you're happy with your purchases though.

    Yeah, I kinda collect oddball bullion in my "bullion collection" I like to call it. Thanks.

    Nothing wrong with that. There's a lot of beautiful world issues out there

    For sure, Niue just released a nice looking 2017 The Nightmare Before Chrismas coin. I really like it.

    You can collect whatever you like, but I sure wouldn't spend $100 on a colorized Niue silver bullion coin.

    I never liked that movie so that one isn't for me, but Perth and NZ have been putting out a lot of interesting stuff

    Nice toning on the quarter - it reminds me of many proof strike coins with how the devices are contrasted with the toned fields.

    And, I would say this though - look at it in terms of profit instead of price guide and eBay sales value, since that's what ultimately matters at the end of the day. So, shipping cost, eBay / PP fees, etc. should be subtracted on your end if a potential sale would go through. Then, it may be more like, buy for $25, valued at $51, profit of say $13.00.

    I would, if it had $105 worth of bullion in it. :p
