10 Pound Bag of Foreign Coins (Lot B-179) - ±1000 Coins
These coins are not, like many others claim, from long-lost "estates" or "found in my grandfather's attic." Most are just coins from bulk lots that I break down into 20 pound bags.  I guarantee there are no gold or silver coins, just a good accumulation of mostly 20th century base metal coins (I don't "salt" them with a few low-fineness silver coins to be able to say "might include silver coins").  I am not going to insult your intelligence like some seller-dealers do saying the lots are unsearched.
The photo below shows the actual coins you are buying in this lot, they are not stock photos showing "sample of what you will receive" where the photo shows lots of cupronickel as well as copper coins but the lots are not that nice (feedback to one seller using this approach "great service, but not like the picture!!! (most coins were cheap pennies)." Others advertise and sell the same lots here on eBay described as "... estate sale ... belonged to an English gentleman."
I was able to add several hundred different foreign coins to my fifty year plus collection. I am usually selling the others off in lots of twenty pounds (I kept only one of each coin that I needed as new or upgraded). These lots are not sorted, they are simply randomly scooped out of the thousands of coins that remain. The picture you see is as I dumped them into the 10 lb. bag listed here (I don't put larger or better coins on the top of the pile).
Condition varies from good to BU with most in the very fine to extra fine range. I have have tried to remove all U.S. and Canadian (but I see a few Canadian as I photographed some of the lots) and most cull coins and most tokens that were included. All that remains are coins of the realm in aluminum, copper, cupronickel, nickel, bronze, brass, zinc and bi-metal! Most of these coins are European but there are coins from all continents save the Antarctic in the bags with most dates from the 1960s to the current with possibly some as early as the 1900s or the late 1800s.
Bulk coins like these usually sell for or and up per pound.
Generally a 10 lb. bag contains ±1000 coins, of course depending on the size of the coins in the lot. The average standard is 100 coins per pound in a regular mix.
These are the   actual coins you will receive in this lot identified as Lot B-1

I am opening this lot at and charging a flat rate shipping by USPS Priority Medium Flat Rate Insured Mail at .95 to any US address. I do offer combined shipping.
PLEASE NOTE I HAVE WATERMARKED MY PHOTOS DUE TO AN UNETHICAL SELLER WHO HAS BEEN USING MY PHOTOS AND MUCH OF MY TEXT IN HIS LISTINGS.
I PREFER PERSONAL PAYMENTS
Payment must be made in US dollars. eBay basically requires sellers to use PayPal or credit card in the USA (if I had my druthers, I would take checks or MOs as I've never had a bad one). PayPal overseas sites permit payment by conventional means probably due to foreign governments forbidding eBay from mandating of their own former PayPal subsidiary.
PAYPAL IS
NOT
MY FAVORITE WAY TO BE PAID (contrary to their claim) BUT IT IS THE EASIEST METHOD!
Contact me for information on more traditional payment methods if preferred (I understand that the buyer can request payment by traditional forms and the seller can then accept them).
A Canadian buyer won one recently and had to pay in brokerage and customs fees. The coins were shipped UPS and when I called Canadian Border Information Service to enquire on this, I was informed that ALL UPS shipments deemed dutiable to Canada are routed through a brokerage firm after receipt in Canada and the brokerage fee ranges from on up (she said the customs fee would be - on this value shipment). She also said that is the reason for the largest number of complaints that they get mainly because UPS does not disclose this practice and fee to shippers (or recipients) (her words, not mine). She also said that postal shipments usually avoid brokerage fees so I will ship USPS to Canada. Though the buyer stands the risk of any brokerage fees, duties, or taxes levied outside the USA. Canadian buyers - I would have to ship in two separate boxes (one the USPS Medium Priority Box (limited to 20 lb. gross by Postal regulations) and the remainder in the USPS Small Priority Box. Total cost for insured shipment would be US. Based on this and the US customs paperwork involved, I respectfully prefer not to ship to Canadian addresses. If you are Canadian and live near the US border, I suggest you get a post office box from a nearby US Post Office. This will save you lots of shipping cost as well as you can avoid the customs hassle.
I WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT BIDS FROM OUTSIDE USA UNLESS SHIPMENT IS MADE TO A U.S. ADDRESS. International transactions are not worthwhile to me. There is just too much hassle with shipping/U.S. customs forms and PayPal charges and customs fees which are levied by the buyers' countries and buyers who file negative feedback because they think the actual shipping costs and PayPal fees are excessive. Sorry!
EBay now has a Global Shipping Program that non-USA buyers can use. I ship to them at the Cincinnati Airport and they handle all the rest, shipment to your country, customs, brokerage, etc. Be sure to check their fees before you use them to be sure the service is worth it given the dollar amount of the purchase (including my .95 shipping charge to them).
As a service to my customers, I will be glad to attribute (country and date, if possible) on any coins in this lot that you are unable to decipher. All you need to do is to e-mail me a good scan or photo of both sides and I will try to help you.
Thanks for looking!
