Hi All Just found this on another forum: Anyone from around the Woy Woy way that has had a coin & note collection stolen there are a heap of empty silver coin boxes on a beach around there seen it the post on a metal detecting site called World Wide Dirt Fishing the member was told a bloke was throwing them in the ocean I really hope they were not stolen
Some of what was left laying on beach, must be some poor buggers stash [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/6954_c2.jpg][/imgz]
Only 'kids' would do that ... They'd be dumb enough to take silver $10. coins to local shop for cigarettes ....
Apparently it was a guy not kids, was seen taking out of boxes and throwing into the Ocean...Bloody Strange One
No not fakes as one guy has found a few things with detector, going to have another go with under water detector. He found a 1oz OPM bar and a UNC 2016 $1 in 2x2 holder
My little cousin did this when he was like 8. Spend a few coin collection books of silver quarters on candy at the news stand.
Speaking about that what do you do with all the 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 coins lol. I had jars full of them now in bucket, it is now just a habit, i throw all circulated commemorative coins into, after while you look at growing bucket and think, whats the point all this as they arnet UNC, im never going to sell these coins one by one lol
I used to see bulk lots of 30x 1970 Captain Cook 50 cent coins etc. they would go well above face value but then you had to post them and pay all the fees so not sure if it is worth the effort. A local market stall owner has a box full of circulated 50 cent commemoratives and I think he tries to sell them for around $1-$1.50 each but I am not sure how successful he is.
there is that but I think that would be a massive pain (wasted hours) to sell coins worth little more than face value of 20c to $2
Bulk sales, just like selling pre-decimal by the kilo. Guy selling 100 x 1977 50 cents at this ( as example ).
As the G/S ratio is determined by the US prices (Kitko.com is label on display) would it be possible to have an Australian chart for us Aussie stackers?
