<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4241182, member: 19463&quot;]The big problem I see here is postage.&nbsp; According to many dealers, postage and handling are more than the coins we are discussing.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I miss the early days on eBay before it became popular with the wrong crowd.&nbsp; They had a feature called Dutch auction where you bid an amount and said how many coins you would take at the price.&nbsp; I bid $20 each on a lot of 35 denarii saying I would take 34 but the price was set by the second person who offered $10.&nbsp; Obviously I saw a coin in the bunch worth the price to me but was willing to risk the one I wanted would not be the one the other guy got.&nbsp; It was fun.&nbsp; It was more fun when I got the coin I wanted.&nbsp; At shows unidentified pickout pots for a fixed price were much more common 20 years ago than today.&nbsp; Jonathan Kern had the best ones sorted by price.&nbsp; I saw one with at least 200 tribute pennies (bought none) and another with at least as many cheaper denarii (bought a lot).&nbsp; Those were the good old days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
