I am new to collecting and was wondering if the "grab bag" in below link is worth the $119 or $229? Thanks Frank https://www.paradisemint.com/mobile/home.asp#page-46
Grab Bags = bad news. Think about it -- if what was in the bag was worth more than $119/229, why would they sell them together, undervaluing them as a lot? You'll probably get a decent deal -- "retail" value wise, but in resale/collector's value? Probably not that much value. I'm guessing you'll get a bunch of modern common silver pieces. Go for quality, not quantity!
Think of it this way, grab bags are put together with all the crap they couldn't sell quickly or couldn't sell at all.
As an alternatives, you might check here http://www.cheapslabs.com/shop/index.php You can get slabbed coins individually. I often look through the "Good , bad and ugly problem certified coin " section just in case I disagree with the original "problem". Jim
