$100 eBay Coin Grab Bag w/ Tons of 1800s coins...But is it Worth it?

Nakajima Nakajima, I’m ready! :) I love sending coins to people in this community! Honestly, I think the only way we can eliminate the risk is to keep it in the family, ya know? 🙂 Send me an email whenever you’re ready, so we can discuss the details in private. My contact info on my YT channel page. I ship within one business day and always include buyers insurance, k? Don’t forget... If you have a most wanted list or any special requests, lmk.

If you'll take a toothpick and poke the plastic of the 2X2 then just push the coin out without ever messing with the staples. Much easier and safer.

[@HighStrangeness1973]

Ive got something that im going to send you. It would have come in handy for you today. Ill send it to your po box. Since my blacksmithing has taken off, i dont have much time for my coins. Last year i was in an accident that caused me to have a traumatic brain injury that left me with a bunch of scar tissue on my brain that causes problems with my having a conversation with someone in person because I often lose a thought halfway through a sentence because I forget that fast. I will remember to send this out to you though. It will be a package from Maine. Remember that :)

[@berserkervtuber6285]

Themed grab bags are nice, and sometimes they may not have a lot of themed collectables. Hopefully the next themed grab bag would be another foreign currency theme bag, those are beautiful to look at.

[@Silverpicker]

That would be very cool, Owen!

[@roselynpeacock7478]

I really love the coins in this bag . Not to much into the stamps but everything else is pretty cool,

[@skaarfvagly3959]

I don’t like any of the non-coins at all, except for the meteorite, and skeleton key. I really love coins and keys. I love the obsolete coins also, that 2cent coin is really cool.

[@thomasrandall7702]

Max I just started seriously collecting last month.. I started with buying wheat cent rolls and lots..i have been buying some mint sets.. And a few older coins on eBay and Amazon.. I've been looking for key date coins and errors.. I have already found a 1955 DDO and a DDR.. Not sure what the DDR is worth yet.. And yesterday I found a 1956 D over shadow D.. But the D on mine is more to the right, Does this make it more rare? So far I'm loving finding all the errors I have already..keep up the good work..

I found your channel and I was so happy to see another coin collector. I love watching your videos,giving me advice about collecting and giving me inspiration to collect more and create a bigger collection of coins and paper money. Thank you for all the inspiration you have given me and probably thousands of other people on this platform.

[@donaldbothe3518]

my collection is just old things. my main focus is coinage but i love other antiques. I have old books, old buttons, a few old newspapers, old military objects, and, as an eagle scout myself, i have some old boy scout stuff. My highlights are a 1926 BSA journal with all kinds of old papers, maps, and photos that the original owner folded up and put in the back. I laminated it all as everything is very fragile. My other highlights are my 1672 book, an 1827 newspaper page, a civil war button, a WW1 cloth american overseas cap, A WW2 french gas mask, 2 1800s photos, and I have a few familial antiques

[@Silverpicker]

Those sound like super cool relics!

[@holasoyalejandro9822]

I would’ve rather had coins, but I’d still be happy with this grab bag, nothing that I collect myself, but I’d keep because they nice

[@Silverpicker]

That's basically how I feel too

[@amandataub842]

I like the variety of objects you received in this bag. The coins are absolutely cool, but so is the history of the Olympics items. Besides the good thing about a grab bags is that you can sell the items you don't want to keep.

[@Silverpicker]

That's my attitude exactly!

[@PennyHaven]

I hear you on the IHP. I guess it's up to the individual to decide on their own respectful term going forward. Do you see any organization addressing this and suggesting a new common term moving forward?

[@Silverpicker]

Unfortunately not. From my experience, all of the main organized coin organizations (like the ANA) seem to be about 20 years behind on everything. I'd be surprised if there is any formal push to make a change. We should really try on our own, as creators, though

[@spartanumismatics8165]

[@alexhenshaw7863]

These grab bag videos are my fav. I see a lot of people complaining about the silver aspect though. Maybe do a 100$ grab bag on junk silver to see what you get for your value on a junk silver score. I know some people have ended up getting some cool stuff from small time businesses junk silver lots. (Edited for spelling errors)

[@Silverpicker]

That's a good idea! I could definitely do a junk silver grab bag

[@markp44288]

I really like obsolete coins too, like, really obsolete coins. You definitely have some cool stuff in that bag. I'm not sure I'd have been so stoked myself, but what little collecting I do anymore is quite targeted. Great video. These grab bag ones are the most exciting things you make.

[@Silverpicker]

I pretty much agree with everything you said, Mark. And yes, you are into VERY obsolete coins 😝

[@KansaiSamurai]

The Indian Head Cent is actually Lady Liberty with an "Indian" headress. Maybe we can call it a Headressed Liberty Cent. The IHC was 88% copper and 12% nickel (aka cupronickel) from 1859 to 1864. After that, it was 95% copper and 5% tin with some zinc. The 1859 to 1864 were called "nickels" until the nickel 5 cents appeared in 1866, after which they were called "white cents". The bronze cents after 1864 were called "red cents".

[@Silverpicker]

Excellent context! Thanks for sharing :)

[@silvercoinedge8228]

Thats a pretty good, varied and interesting grab bag. You are quite right about getting stuff that you would never buy as a stand alone item, but once you have it you are pleased to own it. Such as the portable scales for instance. The first edition cent pieces are cool, especially that 2 cent coin. The other great thing about that grab bag is the gift opportunities. Like giving the stamps to your father: great idea and nice gifts. So even if it doesn't float your boat, it gives you ready to give gifts. Keep up the grab bag videos. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@nodsib]

I mean, technically everything is hurtling through outer space, including us :)

I 100% agree. I think that was kind of a miss

[@t.b.willoughby6540]

[@Silverpicker]

Hi Jeff, appreciate the comment, but unfortunately I am not an expert on meteorites. Maybe try looking on some collectors forums

[@wisconsincrhunter5614]

The value of the bag was pretty much spot on. That being said it's not really my cup of tea, I wouldnt be happy at all with that since I'm mainly only a coin collector. The stamps and the Olympic stuff(besides the silver Olympic coin) wouldve only made me want to return the whole lot. Great video!

[@Silverpicker]

I hear that. It wasn't exactly my cup of tea either, but I'm just pleased it wasn't a rip off

[@ericsingletary2603]

"want coins? Here's a kinda old spring/scale." I can appreciate relics of the past but for $100 I wouldn't call that a good grab bag especially when it's called a coin grab bag. Thanks for another video!

[@Silverpicker]

Hey Eric, I basically agree, but over $80 of the value was in coins, so I don't think they were trying to be misleading. Instead, I think they were just trying to put in some unusual and cool items that they thought I would like

[@karlskoins]

When I buy a coin grab bag I would like to have a little bit more coinage in it than was in this particular grab bag. However, still some good stuff in there. I'm a really big fan of the flying eagle scent. one thing I want to point out though is 1857 was not the first year of issue for the flying eagle. 1856 was the first year for the flying eagle now if you would have gotten that in your grab bag that would have been one heck of a grab bag.

[@Silverpicker]

Yep, I totally agree on all points! I also thought it should have included the 1856

[@social3ngin33rin]

I like the meteorite, the key, and the U.S. Treasury minted coins.

[@Silverpicker]

[@OnlyHumanYT]

I understand how you feel on the price tags, but I think they’re pretty fair. When they sell them in the shop, the sellers have to make a little profit over its actual value. If they sell anything of value at its exact value or lower, they aren’t really making any profit.

[@c21-pampa88]

Looks like a nice grab bag, good mixture, but I would expect a coin grab to be all coins. The large cent and fyling eagle were great, though.
