What is a good price to pay for say a bag of randomly selected coins. i bought a 1 pound bag with coins from 1859-1959 for 34.99. where do you guys buy your stuff and what is a good price?
I usually don't buy "grab-bag" type items. I buy either individual coins, or bulk when I know what I'm getting.
If I wanted to collect random coins I would roll search and get them for face value. Otherwise, select individual coins you like. Ebay is a wonderful place to buy as long as you are careful, or check out some local coin shows.
buy individualy. unless you are collecting 1 from every country. if you get it by the bag full you will get many common duplicates.
just watched a normal 42d mercury dime on ebay that was graded by an unacceptable grading service that said it was a 2/1 go for about $400.there were like 18 bidders.
