<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1317279, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;d love to bid on this. Actually, I&#039;d love to bid on about a tenth of this at a time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Problem is, there&#039;s no way I can estimate, even within a factor of two or three, what&#039;s there. I see great piles of circulated silver, but can&#039;t tell how much. I see boxes of early silver proof sets, but can&#039;t tell which ones, and with the repetition in the photos, I can&#039;t even tell how many. I see lots of key dates in albums, but we all know about buying a 1916-D Mercury in a poke, and I can&#039;t exercise due diligence on <i>any</i> of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I could at least get a rough count of how many items in each denomination there were, I&#039;d be willing to make an offer based on silver value, plus a premium on the assumption that at least some of the keys and valuable non-silver items are genuine. It&#039;s still be a risk, but there&#039;d be a big potential reward, and it would be a lot of fun. Thing is, the seller knows more about what&#039;s there than I do, and so &quot;best I can offer based on what I know&quot; may be nowhere near his reserve.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think the auction is going to be successful. But I wish everyone luck anyhow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
