š„ WOULD YOU BUY SOMEONEāS OLD COIN JAR BY WEIGHT?
After searching through a nearly 60-year-old family coin jar, I officially caught the collecting bug. There were some really interesting coins hiding in there, and now I want to search through more jars myself.
Iāve been finding people who have old change sitting around and would love to get rid of it without spending hours counting everything.
Instead of offering face value, Iām considering buying mixed coins strictly by weight. My thought was somewhere around $13ā$14 per pound, knowing thereās always a chance someone already searched the jar and removed the better coins.
The tricky part is finding a price that feels fair to the seller while still leaving enough room for the buyer to actually search for those hidden gems.
For anyone who buys bulk coin jars or bags, what would you consider a fair per-pound price?
Whatās the best coin youāve ever pulled from a random jar of change? šŖšš
