Is Amazon’s Moenich World Coin Grab Bag Worth Buying?
I finally bit the bullet and bought the infamous Moenich world coin grab bag from Amazon.com. It’s not a good deal, but if you want it, here's the link (amzn.to/3lOv6Jh)...but don’t buy it. If you’re a new coin collector or a veteran numismatist, it’s a bad deal either way. Sorry, spoiler alert, but it’s bad. What's not bad however (in fact, what's really good) is...

YEARS ago, I bought a couple of bags of 100 ancient Roman coins, and maybe a couple of bags of 100 ancient Greek coins. The Romans were @ $1 each, and the Greeks were @ $2 each. Those were fun to pick through, especially since the one of the Roman bags had an extremely rare coin of Empress Galla Placidia. The Greek lots got me started on my Seleukid bronze coin collection, as most were from that area. There were also a couple of P. Q. Varus bronze coins in the Greek lots (not terribly rare, but he is infamous for losing multiple entire legions of troops at the battle of the Teutenburg Forest, and effectively halted Rome's eastward expansion). I definitely got my money's worth out of those bags. There were other interesting coins, but these were the ones that I still immediately think of when I think of those lots.

In Belgium bulk world coins cost €3-4/Kg (about $1,5-2 a pound). Sometimes it's a little more, especially if there are some older/ silver coins in it, but still. This is incredibly expensive! I have bought bulk coins with 18th century stuff and 19th century silver in it for €8/3Kg (of course that is not the standard price, but a just good deal).

Hey, Silverpicker! Those 1-piso coins you got are definitives yet different: in mint year and in reverse variety. The year 1993--BSP's founding year--that you saw was the reverse of the 1-piso New Design Series coin (penultimate to our current New Generation Currency) minted from 1995-2017. Information about the reverse varieties is available on that coin's Numista page.

@Silverpicker

It does make sense, but coins that are sold by weight, such as these, are sold this way specifically because the value of each individual coin is so low. There is no chance the actual value of all the coins outweighs the price
I also did not care that there were doubles they are still cool
The 1993 at the back is, like the year of the coin was first minted but they minted the coin on 1995 - 2017 , the year 2005 and 2008 are money , 2005 cost = $ 10.00 2008 cost = $ 5.00

Nice video .. if you collect for a longer time "BULK" it always bad .. a lot of the same used junk. If you got duplicates .. well that is no problem .. there are years on the coins. I collect coin by year But the coins I look for must be uncirculated, there are millions of each year so I only look for the best. It is like a proof coin, they are also always in top quality. So if they are old only a little used is OK. But I like the details.

The best way to get someone into the hobby was how I got into it. I got a good bulk world coin lot off of ebay or something from my grandfather. it had 92 countries, all kinds of denominations, a little silver from japan and Britain, and coins that dated all the way back to the 1850s. all kinds of bimetallic coins, different shapes, different sizes. it even had some random American change, lol. But yeah, that is probably the best way to do it. sitting on the carpet in my living room and sorting these coins by country and pulling out cool old large british pennies or soviet coinage or finding obscure countries like slovakia. it was so fun not knowing what I was going to pull out next

Sorry to say this silverpicker, but that grab bag sucked big time.... the coins were really interesting. I liked the Mexican 20 centavos. But the only problem is that there were too many doubles. When theres a coin that is the same but the monarch is different ( for example the ones from UK) I call it a pass because its showing a modified version. It's like you take 2 Canadian nickels, one is a 30s coin and one in the late 50s, it's the same reverse but the monarch or obverse is different. Getting a 1 cent from Canada is awesome and worth it cause they dont make them anymore but when you have 7 in a grab bag that's ridiculous. Especially that you only get 50 coins... its almost ⅕ of the grab bag. I do hope that you leave a negative feedback to the seller. I dont think that price is a concern if you have 50 different countries, but having multiple doubles, it makes the grab bag over priced or even not worth buying. But the video was really entertaining and I got to see more about the app coinoscope, I've had that app for a while but I only used it once to see how accurate it was. I used a normal nickel from Canada. How I got the app, I saw it in one of your older videos. I actually got the one from Bulgaria right. Sorry that my message was so long.
