[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2123240, member: 71234"]That's a great deal of work you are asking for a pretty useless exercise, as some CT members are dealers some are collectors, some live in Poison Springs,Utah (pop.23) and others live in downtown San Francisco, some have pile it high and sell it cheap methods and some have exquisite single items in individually spotlighted display cases, and many are somewhere in between. Use the facilities available to you in the form of various US coin guides and ebay and other sold listings to research these basics. Even if you had a score of answers, they'd still be not much use, as every purchase is different in detail, different sellers with different degrees of urgency, different salerooms with few or many informed buyers, different quality for the same nominal lot, a Mason jar of wheat cents collected over 20 years or a dealer's bored with this lot, lets get rid of it's well picked body lot are both lots of cents that would appear on your list but without the detail the prices are meaningless. Plus some dealers and collectors are far keener to buy some types than others, some are silver hoarders, some are not. You will probably get some answers as many folk are really generous with their time, but for the reasons above, they really won't help you a lot unless the responders are in exactly the same place and mind set as you are.[/QUOTE]
