Looks like this person is about 75 miles north of Portland, ME. Man I wish I was in the area and had just a bit more cash on hand. This would be QUITE tempting!
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).
NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

I saw that. What made the ad crazy too was that the seller was boasting about having precious metals. Maybe a trustworthy individual backed by smith and wesson, but still, don't talk about it on CL !

7 years to get less than a ton? He is definitely not Realcent material.
The problem here is that he weighed them rather than observed them. Zincolns with grime will often weigh more. Also, he's in Maine. There's going to be more than "a few Canadian cents" in the mix (though that's probably one of those 'good' problems). And I don't see any wheat backs in the mix. Where'd they go?
Forget his asking price. If anyone rolled in there with $2500 cash I'm sure he'd dump them.

Anyone test this listing with an offer?
If I could guarantee a buyer I’d be interested. Even though I’m supposed to be downsizing the collection and have no time to sort count and pack coins…
