Pretty easy to find one like that for sale online. If you want to spend more you can get nicer ones. I have one about the size of a half dollar and three times as thick that fell in the USSR in 1947, part of a total 23 tons of material, for $40 and it's gorgeous.
I'm back... I've watched all 3 videos. As far as best grab bag goes -- this is what I think: 1) Rob, 2) Seeker, 3) Picker. These grab bags are better that others I've seen. That being said, they personalized them -- so they knew who was receiving them. Would be curious to see what an anonymous customer would get. Love the video and concept -- very interesting. Cheers!
Don thanks for watching all 3! Alot of people agree with you on this I've seen the same order from others lol. We'll try and do more of these for sure!
All 3 grab bags were excellent, each tailored to the individual receiving it. Kudos to the seller. As far as which bag I would have been most thrilled to receive (and they all would have been well received), my ranking is: First place - RobFindsTreasure Second Place - Silver Seeker Third Place - SilverPicker
Hey, look a windshield wiper from a 1956 Volkswagen Beetle, wow, with rust, er uhm patina with the instruction sheet. I don’t have one of these or the car so this is a keeper. ROTFL.
24:10 Is a Kan'ei Tsūhō, cast by regional private mints during the Tokugawa Shogunate. This obverse design was used from the early 1600's to 1868 (start of the Meiji Restoration), even though the Kan'ei era it started in ended Dec. of 1644. Its based on old Chinese coins, hence the similarity. 寛永 is Kan'ei, and 通寳 (or 通宝 by modern kanji) is an archaic term for currency. The reverse looks like the "bun" kanji (文), so it should be this listing- en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces121571.html Rough guess at value (I definitely don't know as much about the pre-Meiji coins!), $2 to $5. Probably on the lower end with the reverse damage and blurring of strokes on the 寳 kanji. Not sure which of the varieties it is either, or how that might effect value.
These US stamps are worth 1 cent each. The Kennedy set is worth $3. The tobacco stamps are worth $10, $100 in mint condition. Coin collectors are clueless about stamps. Wrappers can be valuable even with tape on them. The key is worth $4 because it is real, got a slight bend.
Pretty cool stuff most of the doors in my house use skeleton keys because my dad remodels houses and he built our house using old doors and stuff from houses he remodeled
Justinian is probably the most important emperor of the Byzantines. While that coin is not rare, it's definitely one to keep, and the coolest coin of all three grab bags.
Well SS after watching all 3, you and Rob are almost identical in your finds. Curious That SILVER PICKER has nothing really that you 2 got 🧐. For sheer historical purposes and cool factor SILVER PICKER has the best grab in my opinion. Can you say rigged? You should definitely do another one of these with you picking the place the lot comes from. Tons of fun 🤙👍🏻
I keep thinking about getting a grab bag from Main Street coins. Thanks for sharing your grab bag. Some interesting coins in there and cool other stuff.
You did better than I would expect from a grab bag. Also these guys tend to use Red Book type pricing which is high. Still, you did great. My only concern is that they should have made it clear that you would be receiving other collectible items -- not just coins. Love the video. I'm going to watch the other now.
Those were boxes were neat, have not seen Rob's yet. The label on the Haitian coin said $8, not $87, it is a 8 with a hyphen after it. Also you forgot to add the 3 cloth bags valued at $0.25 total... 😊
22:03 That's an "8-" for $8 and looks like either someone inadvertently made a dot under or changed their mind about putting 00 after the dot and instead went for a dash. If I'm looking for a coin grab bag, I'd personally prefer it to stick to coins and cut out the stuff out of the big bag. Otherwise it's solid. As others said, I think Picker won out of the three.
All I can say is WOW! for Picker's incredible WWII grab bag..... being that I am a history buff I am going to have to say that his won this battle. Thank you for sharing all these great finds!
While living in DC, I visited the Smithsonian and at the entrance there was an exhibit of a piece of the Moon that visitors could touch, the Moon piece was the same color as your meteorite. Interesting grab bag and video. 👍🏽
John F. Kennedy also holds the dubious distinction of being the only PT Boat captain to get his high speed PT Boat run over by a huge, lumbering Japanese Ship.
In the end, all of these mystery bags/boxes/etc sales are methods for dealer/collectors to rid themselves of basically undesirable items that you would never go looking for. Chalk this up to a game of chance that mostly never has that ig prize. My recommendation: Save your money on mystery sales and put your money actual coins worthy of your cash!
Personally, I think each bag was equally balanced, I don't think any one really hands down won. I liked the little touches to Robs with a few items that were for Texas. I liked the WW2 era collection that Silver Picker got. But yours was more what I would expect with a "grab baggy" feel. I do think you have have been overly critical on some of your coins, where as the other 2 were less critical.
Cool. Of the three grab bags I would have liked getting silver pickers most. But he is a returning customer of theirs so they might have sent him the most interesting bag because of that. I think it would be interesting if all 3 of you got bags from a vendor that none of you all ever bought from before. Anyway I have seen your videos in the past and have enjoyed them so I subscribed to your channel. Good luck man.
Yeah.. Ummm.. Looks like Rob Took it on this one.. Put the garbage pail kids card up for gaw this weekend.. I'll take it.. Thanks Seeker for an excellent video... And thanks for being critical on your assessment.. I watched all three videos and again Rob took it on this one.. Great video!
After the third “I don’t have one of these..." I was rolling on the floor in hysterics. Too funny. Yours wins on entertainment value and the walker is beautiful. But as a GB goes Rob’s takes it hands down. Would I now go try for one? Nah, I’d rather throw $100 at a fair priced coin. I know it’s apples and oranges, but just not interested in non coinage collectable stuff. I’ve seen picker’s GB videos of the past, not a fan.
interesting vid., alot of diff. items in that bag for sure .....somewhat overpriced on a few items, but isn't that what grab bags are? Try your luck ....thanks for sharing SALUTE.....
Your videos are always terrific. I would have rather put your $110 toward buying Silver Eagles . If you can return this grab bag I would do it...Keep up the great work...
It looks like Silver Picker "did better" with his bag. BUT I also think it depends on the values placed on the coins. He was probably closer to break even. Great video! We need to try this.
Nice analysis. Glad you were stoked on the meteorite, which is a win for them. So far Robs looks to be the best of your two. I haven’t watched pickers vid yet though. 🙂
Even tho the value is about what you paid, there isn't much I'd make space for in my collection. (I liked the Garbage Pail sticker much more than you did. LOL)
#6:34 Top row of stamps are "precancelled," and not worth very much. Unless ALL stamps in the package are rare (NOT!), about 2¢ each. #19:27 An older (Beer/Soda) bottle opener (ca. 1950s, or 60s). #23:25 "G" = Grams.(Probably Copper-Nickel.) #24:25 Chinese "Cash" coin (?) #25:10 Silver Byzantine (East Roman Empire) cion.
Great video personally don’t agree with some of the pricings I think some were a bit too conservative with the pricing but still a great variety and entertaining video. After watching your video, RFT’s video and Silverpicker’s video. I think the verdict is: Silverpicker’s grab bag won.
SS I'm a locksmith, if someone was to go into a lockshop and need to purchase that skeleton key like that one for a old piece of antique furniture say a cabinet, they could be asking $10 to $15 bucks. Keep in mind that's someone who has a specific need not just someone looking for a collectable on Ebay. Hope this helps. I enjoyed the video it was very entertaining. I'm already am a sub to Silver picker and Rob, I'll have to check out there videos as well.
I definately want to watch more of your videos I appreciate you you point out what adds and detracts value from a coin.....and your price estimates were dead on with what I thought (i made my guesses before hearing yours) Ive been collecting us coinage my entire life and a local coin shop I dont trust actually started making me second guess myself since to me a coin shop should be an expert in the field.....so I appreciate my grade and values on the us coins were dead on.
I watched yours and RFT videos, and what was sent, I would not be paying $100. I have better coins than what you had received. Enjoyed watching the videos.
Getting real jealous of these meteorites lol. Never owned a piece of something from space
LOL this was my first for sure. :)
Pretty easy to find one like that for sale online. If you want to spend more you can get nicer ones. I have one about the size of a half dollar and three times as thick that fell in the USSR in 1947, part of a total 23 tons of material, for $40 and it's gorgeous.
I mean, to be overly pedantic everything that makes up us and everything in the universe is from space.
The international numismatic bureau isn’t an actual grading company. But I’m pretty sure that is an actual meteorite tho

Very cool grab bag. There was some really interesting items in it. That was a gorgeous walker! Time to check out Silver Picker.
Picking up my first $500 half dollar box tomorrow. Thank you for the advice for us beginner stackers.
Awesome thanks bud!
Pre-64 I hope?
You were a close second! RFT had the bigger....I mean better sack. Was fun watching all 3! Can’t wait to see what wheats you received!
LOL! Hey you know what they say...
Yea I'll do that video soon!
Never realized this shop existed. I live about 10 minutes from Jewett city

lol lost it laughing when they put not seachted then gave all the years inside.
Interesting. You got some pretty cools stuff there.. on to the next Video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
the problem i find is that even if you put a fair price on some of that stuff, finding a buyer for them is very tough..thanks for the show =)
Agreed
Silver Picker #1 in History , #2 overall, RFT #2, However in coins #1, Silver Seeker #3

I live in Jacksonville and that first piece is awesome!!
Sweet! Glad you liked it!
You got some very cool stuff. I will watch other videos and return to edit. Ty for sharing was alot of fun.
Thanks for watching Kelly! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Pretty neat video thanks for showing us all that really cool things! 🐈❤😎
The "prescription sign" is the Chi Rho, or Χρ, the first two letters in "Christ" in Greek.

Thanks Skaarf! They were very cool!

I remember collecting the garbage pail kids stickers when they started getting popular when I was in the 6th-7th grade which would have been '84-'86.

That's what I thought also! Thanks for watching my friend!

Hello! Good sharing 👍
THanks Minir!
All I can say is WOW! for Picker's incredible WWII grab bag..... being that I am a history buff I am going to have to say that his won this battle. Thank you for sharing all these great finds!
On stamps ,centering within the white border is an important factor.On the ones you received most have poor centering.
Good to know! Thanks for the info my friend!
1 Rob
2 Seeker
3 Picker All three were good
While living in DC, I visited the Smithsonian and at the entrance there was an exhibit of a piece of the Moon that visitors could touch, the Moon piece was the same color as your meteorite.
Interesting grab bag and video.
👍🏽
17:56 , u didn’t just say that 😂😂😴
Wow your immature
LOL Thanks Cote's
Silver Seeker also, who do you think got the best deal with these grab bags?
@@kentuckyyay4238 please tell me you're joking and not just saying something like that seriously with a name like that
24:18 is a Japanese coin minted in the edo period (1600 to 1867
John F. Kennedy also holds the dubious distinction of being the only PT Boat captain to get his high speed PT Boat run over by a huge, lumbering Japanese Ship.
My friend, IMO that was a bust. On to watch Rob open his bust box!
Thanks for watching my friend! I hope you enjoy Robs!
yea that stamp alone goes for around $5 i think on ebay
my favorite was the nickel proof set
That skeleton key would be priceless to the old western bank robbers😀
Sundance Kid dropped that Bolivian 20 centavos....... and he wants it back!
Did you say that roll of one-cent coins were unsearched and did you find anything good that put the value over your mark?
I think the Silver Seeker Grab Bags seem way better . lol
Dude, you are the top drawer silver stacker, blogger there is 😀
Some Cool stuff.
Great sreach, loved it love different things. Sweet
The Japan Coin is worth about 20 cents that is what I paid for one just like it on Friday last week.

Still too much non coin stuff, but a great clash between you guys. I think Rob maybe pipped you to the post though! Nice work
The emblem on the Justinian I, I think is Chi Rho, although I’m not certain what the “N” and “E” mean.
Looked like 8 with a dash. Not 87. Similar to 2 with a dash on the Cuba coin.
interesting vid., alot of diff. items in that bag for sure .....somewhat overpriced on a few items, but isn't that what grab bags are? Try your luck ....thanks for sharing SALUTE.....

Silverpickers ww2 grab bag box was by far the best
S is a bottle openesr still good price was about 250
Thanks Maelo!

Near St. Louis :)
Watched all three. Going to have to order something from those folks when the cash flow permits
Coolness Factor - Picker, Rob, Seeker. Value Factor- Rob, Picker, Seeker .... (sorry Seeker...)
I would want to buy the gold enambled quarter for 50 cents XD
Nice review of the "coin" Grab Bag. I'm not into the stamps either. I am surprised of the est value and I think you are pretty on point.
cool stuff Seeker

Look at this great find I got from the store on my channel it's a experimental 2000 p new hameshire in great condition no copper layer!!!
That Justinian is a lot nicer than the over-cleaned, and nearly worthless Roman coin which Rob got. That's actually a coin I'd like to to own.
