    I'll have to fill you all in with the other members purchase later...
    8 partial whitman books of US small cents.
    2 half full Indian head books.
    2 1909-1940 starting books (one visible 1909 VDB and a 1914-D)
    4 mostly full 1941 on up sets.
    I think he over paid UNLESS the 1914D is real.

    The guy is about 75ish.
    Says he's had the collection for a long time .
    Grandkids have no interest and would dump them at first glance to a pawn shop.
    He's bringing in some dimes and nickles next month.

    For Pete's sake...

    $26 face + $272 melt = ~$300. You ripped off an old man.

    YIKES corgi.
    Who pays retail for anything these days?
    I didn't come out a looser on the deal.
    Everyone was happy.

    Look at it this way, for all I know the seller got everything at Less then the $40 face value and I over paid by 5x.
