| 78 foreign coins for $56.00 Ebay lot!
Instead of going in to school and doing lab work, I decided to celebrate the awesome weather by playing hookey and... staying inside and bidding on mid-day eBay lots.
Here's one I snagged for $50 plus $6 shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/78-of-the-Worlds-Coinage-1861-1954_W0QQitemZ280410564610QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_De faultDomain_0?hash=item4149c5a802
I'm definitely seeing some Mexican silver 1 pesos and a 25 peso in there, silver Canadian 5 cent, along with some NICE earlier date world coins!
Anyone seeing anything super-awesome in there as well?
I haven't even gone through the lot coin by coin and the description covers half the stuff (and barely at that).
There goes my fun money for a while, but this is at least 2-3 hours of fun identifying and sorting!
P.S I know, it's mostly junk lot, I'm just having some fun here.

Yes! There is nothing more gratifying than sniping something in the very last seconds, my record is 0 seconds left, but I have missed by a second too.

If you like checking details on coins, you might look for the Canada 1910 5c "rounded leaf". Those are scarcer, and with a bit more value like $30 in F15 for "rounded" vs. $3 for "pointed". Enjoy those!   | |

Not bad. But I personally prefer sifting through these in person and only picking out the best.
