<p>[QUOTE="Kapimono, post: 2369271, member: 76762"]When I buy a collection I pay 2 cents and resell for 3 cents each. A local coin shop near me sells them for 4 cents each. I generally leave ebay alone on buying wheat lots, just too many resells there that are mostly cleaned, culled or strictly from the 50's. I'd build a good relationship with a coin dealer near you and try to buy locally. I normally don't like paying 4 cents each, but after talking to him he informed me he simply punches out cent books and bags the coins up, never looks at them. He says he doesn't have time to wasted looking for rare dates, and the odds that a big coin being in a Whitman folder is pretty slim. Myself and several other people have pulled semi key's and better from his 4 cent per coin bags. So I'm willing to pay him more, knowing I have a pretty good chance to find a good coin...it makes it fun. Then again, I'm a cherry picker...today I found the following from him, 1939DDO, 1941DDO, 1944D/S, 1944D/D, 1947S/S, 1955d DDO. For your purposes, I wouldn't pay more than 3 cents without knowing your source. Good luck. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
