632 coins but doesn't know what is in it

I find this hard to believe that he would sit down and count out 632 cents and not look at any.

five bucks says there all from 41 to 58...

 

I say there is a couple 1927, 1917, and 1938 included just to mix things up

 

Wow, I need to sell some of my wheatbacks if that is the price he got.

 

So far, it averages out to $284 per 5000 ct bag

 

Maybe he can count like Kim Peek [RIP] was able to, the real Rain Man.

 

"Yeah...there's definitely 632 wheat cents....yeah.....632 wheat cents. I'm definitely not wearing any underwear....yeah...."

 

Aw man that is an interesting guy, I enjoyed a special I saw on TLC or the like. :thumb:

I posted this one just to show the outrageious price someone is willing to pay.

 

ok gotcha.

 

That's it.....I'm gonna sell some wheats. Those are some crazy prices for normal wheat cents.

 

At these prices, I should get a 5000 bag of cents from the store I visit $225. That way I can honestly say I did not search them. And sell them on ebay.

At 27.88 per 500 that equals 278.80
less cost of coins plus gas. 230.00
..............less... ebay/ ppal 5.00
.....................................---------
........................................43.80 profit

That is all dependant on consistant sales.

 

I think you forgot: shipping costs and any packing supplies and your time involved

 

So just how many UNSEARCHED coin stories are there on this internet? I wonder if ANY are actually true. I always get a laugh out of how they know what they are yet claim they didn't look.

 

To comment to the original post, I bought some proofs from that seller, and they were beautiful--he seems like a good seller.

To reply to Just Carl--I know of one coin seller on ebay that does not search his coins. He's a buyer-seller, not a coin person, and he buys wholesale in lots and then sells retail. But that doesn't answer whether the person he bought from searched them, though.

 

Before the coming rate hike, each 27.88 sale would be charged:

Ebay (27.88 x .0875) = 2.44
Paypal (27.88 x .029) + .30 = 1.11

total $3.55 x 10 = $35.50 plus ebay listing fees and packaging costs.

 

Last year I bought a bag of 2,500 wheat cents from a dealer that were truly unsearched. He described to me how he accumulated them, and I believed his story. Considering some of the better-date coins I found, he would never have sold me those coins at the price I paid if he had known they were in there.

Unsearched lots do exist, but only in a very tiny proportion to those that claim to be unsearched.
