I'd pay $70k... if I had it. That'd be a TON of fun tho!

 

It looks like a lot of dreck.

 

On the plus side, you'd get $100 back in ebay bucks!

 

I'd be happy to pay 70k, too bad he wants 350k:rollling:

 

I see a large lot of silver halves, and some key/semi-key dates of the walkers (1916 and 1917 obverse mint marks), so if I had the money to throw around, I'd probably go up to $100K.

 

He is asking close to melt...this guy must know what he is doing. One does not have a $350k collecting sitting around without knowing what they have.

 

I just had a Barb-attack...:smile

 

Omg... If i had the money, I'd probably pay the asking price, just to get the joy of going through all of it. People pay way more for expensive cars that only go down in value. You cant put a price on the sheer joy a collector would experience going through this. And, if silver goes up, you'd make money on it.

 

70,000 coins, 350,000 dollars, 5 bucks per coin, He lists 440 of the coins, if he is listing merely the best, and I think he would not do otherwise, you are looking at an average of 795.40 per coin. of the 440 coins listed, maybe 10 would retail for 795. Maybe more or less depending on condition.

My guess is that of the 70,000 coins probably 60,000 at least would be wheat pennies. If his list is a typical sample of what the collection contains, I would pay the 5 bucks a coin average for the entire list, 2200 for the 440 coins listed.

Don't buy a pig in a poke.

 

The title says 910 pounds and the description says 950 pounds.
All I see is a large pile of culls.

 

omg, look at the other items he has for sale. Looks like he bought out a coin dealer and is flipping it for a quick profit. I'd say he paid around $500-$600K for the entire thing.

 

One word; wow.

 

assuming it's mostly silver that is. For such a huge deal, I'd fly out to NY and take a closer look and maybe weight the silver coins and then make a reasonable offer. There's little joy in going through 50,000 copper pennies.

 

Yup, I can smell the PVC from all the way here. I don't see anything that screams rarity or monster key date in this lot. In fact with all the 90% silver, it looks like a resale headache.

 

Interesting Numismatic items:
1795 Dollar
Several CC Morgans
1843 Seated Half
1928 Peace NGC slabbed
Several 1921 Peace
1932 Quarters, no reverse pic so I assume they are Philly
Couple Bust halves
Couple Trade dollars
1 Seated dollar
Nicer Barber quarters and halves

Anyone else see anything "big" that I don't?

 

WOW! I can imagine going through all that and finding a 1913 V Nickel.

 

You've got a strong imagination.

 

At least he's offering free shipping. It bugs the you-know-what out of me when high-dollar items tack on "$50 shipping" charges...

 

i need money, lots of it, fast.
