<p>[QUOTE="rick, post: 80138, member: 1235"]but condor, this doesn't even happen... for one, as a dealer, if you have not searched all those bags, rest assured that someone has before they got to you. Dealers don't search them because they know this - and they know it's pointless to search them for key dates. The key dates have already been removed. Once in a very blue moon, will people find a nice good date in these packs? maybe. But when they are assembling these half pound bags that you mentioned - how long does it take to do a last minute check sum, and verify you aren't letting any great coins go before you drop them in a bag? not very long.</p><p> </p><p>As far as dropping a 09-s or a good 100+ dollar coin in the group - that doesn't happen either, because its far less expensive to create a second ebay ID and shoot yourself feedback 'WOW WOW WOW!! 09-s VDB found!

I always find good stuff' - hey, I just got the exact same result, and I didn't have to spend $140.00 to do it.</p><p> </p><p>ebay grab bags are, hands down, the easiest way to throw away your money on coins you don't want - you'd be lucky to even receive types you collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
