<p>[QUOTE="Kanderus, post: 1365836, member: 28447"]I keep seeing these auctions on eBay for mixed lots of coins. They range anywhere from $30 - $50 roughly. They usually state that you are guaranteed something like 1x Merc 1x silver Roosevelt, 2x War Nickle, 5x full date Buffalo, and 25 or more wheaties. One even said you will get 10-15 20-22k mini gold nuggets. The one in particular that mentions mini gold nuggets is $37.95 starting bid but the same person has DOZENS of the same listing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my deal: Do they EVER work out? They claim to never pick through their lots for rare coins, etc etc. They even have testimonials like "I got a 1909-S!" and "1921 Mercury!" "1955 double die!" etc etc. Personally I think this is a bunch of crap, as they are just trying to sell. I am sure you will get the guaranteed coins, but the rare dates I highly suspect. However, if you guys/gals have ever tried it first hand, and it worked out I would also be willing to give it a shot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, WTF is a mini gold nugget? By definition, as I was told by a gold panner, a nugget is a piece of gold that you can drop in a vile, shake the vile, and it will make noise when hitting the walls of said vile.
