<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug5353, post: 2174468, member: 73555&quot;]Other than the fact that Barbers generally weigh less than 90% of the 50s and 60s, I think it&#039;s hard to go wrong buying up those older coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>My criteria is not strictly spot price, but whether the lot&#039;s been picked over, and it only takes about 5 minutes to determine that fact.&nbsp; I find there are MANY small coin dealers (and pawn brokers) who simply don&#039;t have time to sit down with a bag and examine it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Mercury set I&#039;m building from rolls and bags is now missing only 3 coins (after 3 years) -- 1916D, 1921, and for some reason, 1928S.&nbsp; All the rest have come from bags, including a handful of AU-BU sliders after around 1938.&nbsp; The 1921D is AG, better than you&#039;d expect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
