So as a dealer I get lots of individual coins, higher grade, rare, etc. But sometimes I get large lots of things of all grades. I love them all. But what I like about large groups is that they educate me. Often one comes across what seems to be incredibly strange designs (which may actually be common but I have not seen them before). They provide countless hours of fun, knowledge, education and history. I know, the picture below is not as dramatic as Barry's pile of Roman gold, but honestly they excite me just as much. So much to learn... This is just a small portion of what came in:
1000 coins? It is hard to tell how deep is a pile. I agree they would be a lot of fun sorting but I also see coins that will be easier to sell than others. I have no business sense so I have no idea whether such a group would be a wise more or just fun.
It’s a beautiful group of coins—the different sizes, colors, and shapes. Also the different periods of history that they represent.
I would love to spend the time attributing that pile, even at the risk (well, maybe certainty) of annoying my better half.
