Coins Rattling around in a Bag

[Puro's Coins-migration]

These coins came into the shop rattling around in a bag with a bunch of other coins.

 

I hate seeing nice coins getting mistreated!

This must be the fun part of owning a coin shop.

This is definitely one of the enjoyable aspects of owning a shop. I just wish the coins had been protected better!

[conqueror]

Yes! But than he would have been a collector and wanted more for his coins.

This is the fate of a lot of the hoarded coins.

 

They slide around in sock drawers or get dumped out of a jar everytime the owner needs coins for the toll road for decades until they are pretty much ruined. Of course they are vulnerable to destruction to fire or flood so many don't survive at all.

I agree if they were in some sort of holders, you'd be paying on a per coin basis and not as a lot. So congratulation's on your bag of coins.

But how much did you pay for them. As already noted if in a 2x2 you would be buying from someone that knows.

I still paid on a per coin basis. There were around 75 coins in the bag and I sorted them into no date, partial date and full date coins. While sorting them, I pulled out the coins that I knew were worth a premium and paid more.

I would rather pay more for protected coins.
