That's surprisingly close to spot price for an ebay auction, no?
I wonder how that can be profitable for them.

I sell them for 25 a piece if you're interested. Btw, that price is not cheap, wait till silver drops and you can get them much cheaper

Why kohanim? Does the kohen usually supply the coins?

Usually the peson asks the kohen to buy it off them then they give it back.

For the current spot price, yes this is very cheap. What I'm saying is that if you don't need them now, better wait till silver drops

Not sure I understand that explanation, but you're probably more likely to find a father that needs coins for his son's pidyon haben than a kohen who wants to have coins just in case.

Strange indeed. Hence they've sold 650 sets

He meant to say usually (probably more likely to say often) the father asks the Kohen if he (the Kohen) has coins that he (the father) can buy off him (the Kohen). Father buys the coins and then gives them to the kohen...

That's why you shouldn't mix pronouns all together in one sentence. Your sentence actually implies that the kohen is doing the buying, which makes no sense.
He meant to say usually (probably more likely to say often) the father asks the Kohen if he (the Kohen) has coins that he (the father) can buy off him (the Kohen). Father buys the coins and then gives them to the kohen...
When I made a pidyon haben I had 3 or 4 friends who had also made pidyonim within the prior year. Each of them bought their own, as did I. So often might be the better term than usually.

I'm pretty sure you don't get bucks on coins and stamps
