<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buckeye73, post: 8262496, member: 93155&quot;]I have also done this for over 30 years.&nbsp; The dealer buys a partially filled folder from the collector/seller based upon assigning wholesale values for the better coins in the folder and absurdly low values to the remaining coins.&nbsp; The dealer removes the better coins and frequently assigns a resale price for the remaining coins in the folder based on a “low” unit price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of my better coin purchases have been on partially filled folders of Lincoln cents, Buffalo nickels and Jefferson nickels, because the dealer does not want to be bothered with non-silver “junk”. It’s not unusual to find brown uncirculated or better Lincoln cents as early as the 1920’s, or EF or better Buffalo nickels, or uncirculated Jefferson nickels in the 1940’s (some of which have full steps). </p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve also found several Cherrypickers’ varieties among the coins, because many of these coins have been housed in these old folders for decades, well before widespread variety hunting existed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin folder hunting is much more satisfying than CRH, because one finds more collectible coins in less time.</p><p><br /></p><p>An extension to CFH of non-silver is searching junk silver,&nbsp; where one can find coins which clearly are a worth a premium to junk silver value.&nbsp; The coin dealer chooses not to thoroughly search out these marginal coins, 2x2 and price them for retail sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
