Spending $120 On Coin Grab Bags Off eBay - Will We Boom or Bust???

[@fixedgearfever69]

He buys them so we don’t have to.

[@Hockeyarcadeandcoins]

Exactly James, I’m happy he does this for us so we don’t get scammed. It’s entertaining but also informative!

[@LarkinsFamilyAdventures]

I received your grab bag today and you did not disappoint my friend! Thank you very much!

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Glad you enjoyed! Had a great time making it.

[@silvertrucker2172]

"There's a sucker born every minute." P.T. Barnum. For that price, you could have bought 4 eagles.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Agreed! Hopefully the world can buy an extra 100 eagles or so.. and I was able to return it and get my money back.

[@Hockeyarcadeandcoins]

Awesome video Christian! I really like you making these videos because it teaches new comers in numismatics that eBay may not be a good place to buy coin grab bags!

[@tromboneman3037]

Hi, While I cant make out the reverse, I can read the obverse enough to tell you that your roman coin is an Antoninianus (double denarius) minted under Gallienus.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thank you! I returned it, but that will be good info for the viewers.

[@codyammons]

IV been thinking about grabbing the same exact one you did , so thanks for taking the chance for us buddy

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Glad you likely did not!

[@b.anonymous8120]

Thanks for sharing with us how these grab bags work. Interesting info as always.

[@danfaries1451]

I am learning a lot from your videos.

[@leo122275]

Thanks. Because of videos like yours I have learned to stay away from those grab bags on eBay.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Glad to hear it!

[@ColinS-jf2hj]

Id like to see the end result of you trying to return these. I struggle buying from eBay because I hate their return system.

[@brandonsullivan5414]

Oh the silver war Nickel it looks like something's up on the mint mark????

[@Rob_Fordd]

The war nickels have manganese, which is extra hard to process for refineries.

[@papagiorgio_loves_bacon]

You know what would be interesting...is if you take this video and update it to include the value(s) two years later and see if it comes out ahead or lower. I've seen this done with Antiques Roadshow

[@hunterscott3000]

Love these grab bag videos.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thanks!

[@achecase]

Bleahk! Great video, lousey grab bags. You can tell us where you got them after you get your returns.

[@huntercohen4613]

I'm pretty sure the Roman coin is an (emperor Gallienus, Antoninianus) these coins were originally minted at a pretty high silver rate but by the time of the late Roman Empire during the crisis of the third century these coins were barely washed in silver probably contained about 1 to 2% silver and rubbed off very easily in circulation and very few survive to this day that still have much silvering intact! Definitely not the most expensive coin but cool history and fun way to get into ancients!

[@Ed-bc6kd]

Thanks for the video I enjoyed it good job

[@TreasureTownCoins]

I appreciate it!

[@trackpackgt877]

I see those on eBay all the time there always huge estate hoard found yeah they've sold like 3,000 of the grab bags already total bullcrap good video though

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thanks!

[@marksexton4860]

Where would you suggest I get coins to hunt thru

[@AllenTaskForce]

All my local coin shop add 2 to 3 dollars to your price for each coin. Even in the junk bins.

[@MrMagicMike93]

That’s horrible

[@TreasureTownCoins]

That's a bummer!

[@notsogga]

10:00 Isn't it illegal to melt down coins though?

[@collorcha]

Looks like if u trying to fill a coin book its good.check the 55 pennies for doubling

[@shannonsmith8914]

Thanks for another good video!! was this live and I missed it? :-(

[@TreasureTownCoins]

It may have been! Sorry - but look out for the next live vid!

[@harryscoinsvillage786]

GREAT COIN COIN BAGS I THINK THAT HIS WORTH WAS 75$.THANKS DEAR CHRISTIAN AHAIN FOR YOUR GREAT TREASURE TOWN COINS SHOW😀❤👍

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thank you!

[@BlueWaterCoins]

Dateless SLQ you didn’t flip over. Maybe a no stars 17-D 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@COINTABLEChrisTisdale]

I love the grab bags

[@whenwewerekids745]

Love the Mardi Gras coin! Can that seller be listed? Those coins were unique

[@TreasureTownCoins]

I actually don't have their name!

[@yourlocalgreninja]

The Guinea coin was actually Guyana...

[@Ross-be1bn]

whats wrong with usacoinbook.com?

[@JT-hq8yu]

thanks!!!

[@TreasureTownCoins]

No prob!

[@ZaibatsuHeavyIndustries]

If there’s anything about an estate sale or the description is in all caps YOU ARE GUARANTEED 3 RARE COINS! don’t buy it

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Agreed!

[@seanfoltz7645]

$17 for the $50 lot and $50 for the $62 lot so massive rip off for the first and not so hot for the second.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Agreed!

[@khanchang127]

I have 1972 Jose Rizal 3 pcs

[@bobroth1951]

The problem with grab bags is that you usually get stuck with a bunch of low value junk. Fun to watch videos thou.

[@Justin-hy5gl]

A draped bust would be a bust literally 😃

[@javenpasalo4609]

Sir.treasure town may I know how much all you pay for eBay..I'm also a coin collector from Philippines I'm watching your videos very encouragement. .

[@iliovecaRS]

Legendary

[@jordanmckenney3705]

You totally got taken man... Such a bumber

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Yeah :/

[@kennysilver9769]

This grab bag wasn"t all bad but not worth enough to say it was good. I'd send it back.

[@t.b.willoughby6540]

#17:42 What would be neat to "value" the Silver Certificate in ASW For the year (1954) and now (2020), based on a (common) Silver Dollar, or $1.00 "common" circulated silver coins. #20:31 According to your video, you only gotto just under 1/2 the price paid. AGAIN I say, I don't buy Grab Bags😑😣

[@RealAntek]

Yeah christian always warns people to stay away from grab bags. The fact that every single e bay grab bag chris has purchased was trash proves his statement

[@Kiwithebourbonhunter]

Awesome video I wish someone would make me a decent grab bag I’m just a beginner keep getting ripped off

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Definitely understand!

[@Kiwithebourbonhunter]

I’m from New Zealand so I’m just starting so that’s why these coins look amazing do you do grab bags please

[@gcbranger1189]

i've never bought grab bags and i never will. i only like silver, gold and rare coins.

[@markrodriguez7733]

I have coins! For sale ventura co.

[@havitcold]

Bro thanks it was fun and exciting but you got burned... sort of.

[@janiskar7892]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@edwardblasingame9002]

I purchased 1 years AGO, a bust then a BUST TODAY! Have people I know who keep trying but still. CRYING!😳? How do you not learn??💸bye BYE.

[@budscott1257]

You’ve been had bad!

[@plantz590]

You cannot trade silver certs for silver anymore i tried and the bank laughed.

[@John_Schmitt]

A+ for your effort lol

[@mandoman3042]

Why do you waste your money? I guess so we don't. Good video, Thanks

[@michaelm7843]

Nice tutorial. So basically you get half the value of what you pay.

[@josephfrancisco62]

yes I have liber6ty coins 1974 d one dime and penny 1955 1984 d 1996 2000 one cent 1968 1987 five cent and quarter dollar 1974 how much ? thank you

[@lorineises6074]

Little bit harsh on the prices.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thanks for the perspective!

[@donniedotzler7387]

What amazes me is the cost to sell these on eBay. 20%-25% then shipping. A fool and his money are soon parted. The seller is just as foolish as the buyer. A person learned in coins would never buy this junk and then have to flip it on eBay. The buyers are dumb as F for buying grab bags. If you want junk coins stop by your nearest coin dealer's shop. Some days they'll pay you to take the junk. But then, people buy all sorts of junk. This waste of resources is why we have the economic crash we are experiencing today. Collect the love of oneself and others. These are more prcious and above all, embrace austerity.

[@48thstateprospecting]

Those 70 D pennies if graded are about $15 apiece if they are 65+ and up from there you could get lucky and get a 67 that would make the bundle worth it

[@ivanscoins6906]

Wow! Do you we'll on ebay?

[@ivanscoins6906]

Well not we'll

[@RealAntek]

Nope he did not

[@James-mt2wv]

Ms67

[@BL-rb7jm]

Do you really think that anybody in their right mind should buy grab bags because nobody's throws out good things.. it's like going into value Village buying a bag of jewellery that's already been sorted out for $5 you just never know what there's going to get yeah right the same thing with this it just doesn't make sense in some work I think it's kind of stupid because people gone through all those coins they're not going to give any good coins away they're not that stupid

[@williamtell2053]

Gold flakes are not real gold

[@MidnightSniper402]

Hey Christian I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and was wondering if you’d be willing to send me a grab bag to help get me started in this hobby!!

[@paullemmons3644]

You almost justify buying these! Know what you are getting or waste your money!

[@Zonydeep]

Random crap. What do you expect?

[@silvercoinedge8228]

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Like buying blatantly scam grab bags and expecting not to be ripped off. You could probably buy all that down the local coin shop for less than 50 dollars. Seriously cheesy. Keep up the information campaign against these ridiculous rip off bags.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thanks! I was able to get refunds, as well (as they were either not according to description or somehow faulty) so it's great that hopefully more people are able to avoid them.

[@ratnakarkelkar1540]

Thanks

[@BillySmith-ds3wn]

It was crap sorry you lost money on that one

[@robertjacques3192]

send it back not worth it

[@mikeebmeyer9897]

Your. Not sure about anything

[@RealAntek]

Hope you got a refund!

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Was able to!

[@msulli8512]

Hope you go a refund

[@JoeC-bz2ep]

I would have to give these both a thumbs down

[@kevinpresley3136]

Very disappointing grab bag.

[@shawntate5955]

Scam

[@JTCT371]

Both lots sucked. Ripoff.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Definitely :(
