[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2291513, member: 56859"]I've picked up a few large mixed lots and they were tons of fun. Zumbly scored perhaps the best mixed lot I've seen, chock full of coins which would typically be sold individually. Of the three main large mixed lots I've purchased, one was great, one seemed bad at first but in reality was great, and the other was okay but really didn't contain anything I want to keep-- but I knew that would be the case when I bought it. Most of the group lots I purchased were near the beginning of my collecting. Since uncleaned coins proved so unsatisfying, I just wanted a bunch of coins right away to jumpstart the collection and for the fun of learning about them and attributing them. In that regard, they were certainly worth the price paid. These days I usually buy individual coins but some group lots are still tempting.[/QUOTE]
