[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3021594, member: 77814"]That is a great example. Except they seemed to have collected older coins too - picture of walking halves. This collection seems to be pure pocket change. The main concept I've had to remind myself is that even 0.03 cents to a dealer doesn't mean anything to certain people. One has to remember, "normal" non-coin collecting people may not have the [B]fervor[/B] for dealing with items in large quantity. Matter of fact, I don't have the fervor either to look through a ton of cents. I have a ton of cents going back to the 1970s that I've stored away that I really have no intentions of going through any time soon, if ever. But I still have them. Thus the reason I'm looking for specific years. Also in regards to WAMs etc I'm not sure they really care to look closely enough. I'll bring it up and provide a quick list. But the more I talk to them it's not worth their time to sell it to me either -- too much weight to deal with. They've been through the quarters and found nothing. Sparks of interest but no action. The closest coin shop is about 2 hours away, one way. The coins has turned into a "hassle" for them, not a wanting to learn about coin collecting, since it all seems like pocket change anyways. I've offered them many time to look at various quantities which they have not taken up the offers. So we'll find out what they want to do with the collection shortly as it's been lingering too long now for them.[/QUOTE]
