[QUOTE="Coin buyer, post: 3611557, member: 102573"]I know it’s a hard sell to believe but I’m extremely pleased to say that last winter I purchased a rather large coin accumulation from a estate that was being closed out. I sort of felt like the American Pickers Actors in the sense that the children closing out their parents estate barley had a clue of the value of certain coins. Therefore when they told me their asking price for certain coinage I found myself informing them many many times that the asking price was way to (LOW)!!! I increased the coins value; and paper currency value as necessary. Anyway, I paid a fair amount that had both seller and buyer very happy. Now then, I was presented with a very large bag of what I was told contained all cents. It would’ve taken many many hours to individually go through this huge bag and so a agreed upon price was negotiated for the entire bag, sold as is. It wasn’t until this past late April that I even remembered where I put this bag of Cents. Upon opening it and dumping out the expected Wheat Cents imagine my total surprise when I saw the bag contained about 80% Wheat Cents, and 20% Indian Cents. But, also discovered was not one, not two, but (6) Flying Eagles Cents. Rounding out the mix was 4 Seated Dimes and 1 Barber Dime, 9 Tokens, 3 Buttons and 1 clear colored small possible Diamond?[/QUOTE]
