<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 4422758, member: 17557&quot;]I remember when I first started collecting that there was a site similar to this one that I bought from many a time. I actually don&#039;t, and never did, regret buying from that site. I cannot even begin to remember the prices or products, but I remember it being fairer than everything else around, and never remember being disappointed with grab bags/mixed lots (though the rolls were always disappointing). </p><p><br /></p><p>I filled up a good number of spots in my, then barren, Whitman folders that way, and there was something exciting about not knowing what you&#039;re getting. I know an S-VDB, 55 DDO, etc. won&#039;t be in there, but there was always a lower mintage D or S or two in there, a RPM or MD--they were just fun to sift through in the beginning, and my ex-wife can tell you I&#039;ve always enjoyed the thrill of gambling.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over time, once you start accumulating coins, there comes a point when those holes in your Whitman get whittled down, and there&#039;s no sense in paying so much for so many duplicates. I still even have some common date holes, but at one point I had plenty of 1947&#039;s and 1958&#039;s; I ended up giving the vast majority of duplicates away as freebies in coin sales, or just put them back into circulation, for someone else to get excited about. </p><p><br /></p><p>I suppose I never thought I was getting a phenomenal deal, or getting something for nothing; but it&#039;s unfortunate, for like has been pointed out, many do.</p><p><br /></p><p>The gold flake thing and the <i>L@@K MERcuRY diME @@ the end of a SEALED UNSEArchEd WHEATYYIE R@LL</i>, however, I&#039;ll just never understand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
