Where is a good place to get bulk old US coins? Such as Mercury dimes and Walking Liberty halves??? Ones that would have resale value. Thanks~
Depends. Do you want to buy them for less than they're worth and then sell them for what they're worth, or buy them for what they're worth and sell them for more than they're worth? Edit: if you want to sell them for less than you pay, I have plenty of suggestions at the ready.
I think everyone would like to do that. What it boils down to is that you need to do the work yourself. Personally, I'd like to have someone tell me what the winning Powerball numbers would be. Chris
Most towns have a local paper like we have here called Penny Saver or our Shoppers Guide with relatively cheap rates for ads. Offer to buy any silver coins at melt and see what you are offered. You may or may not run into some better coins that off set those that are actually only worth melt as being to worn to resell otherwise. It's a gamble most times but you might get lucky.
Most old time coin shops or old time coin collectors have sacks such as you ask about, but of course, do not expect ( except maybe for cents and nickels ) them to be un-searched. I have bought such about 25-30 years ago from coin shops, but today, ?? . If you go to a coin show, ask the dealers , tell them what you would like, and they might could bring them to you at the next show.
There's some circular reasoning here: If everyone were buying low and selling high, there wouldn't be anyone selling low.... I try to be as helpful as I can around this place, but if I had a profitable source for coins to flip, I wouldn't be sharing it with you guys.
I've got a profitable source -- eBay. It's just extremely intermittent. I probably average close to an hour a day patrolling the newly-listed BINs, more than that some days, and I hit a winner maybe a couple of times a month. Sometimes there's a multi-month gap. It's fun, in an unhealthy compulsion-indulgence way, but it's not something I could make a living doing. And the more people who do it, the less success each one will have. So never mind.
Let's make a deal, Jim. I'll give you a good source for bulk silver if you give me the winning numbers for the Powerball jackpot drawing tonight. Chris
I have been lucky on ebay and got some rarer coins that were truly unsearched lots; BUT THAT IS RARE, and everybody claims that thei lots are unsearched even the big dealers, but once in a while you will read a good description of an inherited bunch of coins that don't interest the party selling them and take a shot. Its like anything else including hitting the lottery, LUCK.
I figured that out last night using vault 7 decryption program, but someone put it on twitter, so it won't help you
