Like most of you that purchase large lots of foreign coins to search I want to know how you determine what to keep.
1. Sort all coins by country and bag
2. Pull coins for your collection
3. Pull all unc coins including moderns
4. Put aside all coins of some value
5. Create a pile of low value coins to sell as bulk
In the end do you just list here for swap or bulk sales. What other options do you have to sell bulk lots of low value coins without taking the time to list each coins.
When I buy large amounts of coins the first thing I do is to sort the coins out by country.
Further on I start the identification process by the countries with the lowest quantity.
Nowadays I don't buy bulks anymore, just buy what I need to fill the gaps I have.
