[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 453170, member: 15199"]I am sure the dealer used to sort through the coins the first few times, but he soon learned that there was very little reward over the long run and so into the counting machine they go.

Nikon, unless your time is mostly free, the cost to learn, time and references, magnifier, going through each coin, asking about grading, trying to sell on ebay or else where ( time and fees) to get a better total, ....is just not worth it. Yes, people win big lotteries, find bags of gold coins under the barn, get born into the Rockefeller family, but I haven't and I haven't heard anyone on the forum make a claim, so as Jetshack and others said, you have more money and a Wii now that you didn't have before! I don't have a Wii:( Jim[/QUOTE]
