Sorting Through Bulklots

stevo1962 · June 21, 2016, 09:02:30 AM

Decided to jump back on the bulklot bandwagon again recently and bought 10kg of
KGV pennies to try my luck as It has been worthwhile in the past.I was lucky enough to find this 1931 Indian and a few 1933 overdates which almost made it worthwhile.Pity it wasnt a dropped one

10Kg should keep you going for a while.

Contacted our mate to see if he is still doing them and he is chasing them up

I haven't spoken to him for a while but he was still able to last time but said they'd put the price up a bit.

The last Bulk lot of coins I went through were a few kg of florins.
I didn't find anything exciting but it was a heap of fun looking through them :good:
Have Fun Mate and here's hoping you find a few more Gems :yahoo:

Found a few 1933 overdate pennies..They don't seem that rare after finding this
many in a 10kg lot

My experience is they stuck with the last of the overdate Dies,the one with the tip of 2 showing,but no spike or back of the 2 showing,for some time,they are plentiful but still hard to find in F or better.
The first overdate Die with the top of the 2 showing,like in the Rennik Books eg,is scarce,in 50 years i've found 2.The first one i swapped for a Half-Sovereign,my thinking at the time was i would get another one but regretted it ever since as they just do not exist.

I don't believe that they are rare
scarce maybe

but with 8 pearls
rare

my hubby went through a few kilos of KGV and got quite a few 31 Indians and 27 Indians (like about 10)
an unchecked lot for a change!

Good find,they are scarce Coins and i can never find any in Bulk Buys these days,prior to the Internet not a problem but nobody wanted to pay a premium to buy them in those days so Catch22.

I have about 10Kg's and only found one overdate but that's just my luck

I'm the same AJ,rarely find anything in bulk buys these days,early days of Ebay was a goldmine but now it takes a novice seller 30 secs. to find the value of a Coin and what varieties are scarce.

Edit...AJ,your not missing anything over at CCF,Oz. section is barely ticking over at the moment,you need the hard core of regular posters on Forums or they will die.
