    Good idea! :) Amazon is quite high on coins.

    My suggestion is to get something you want other than coins from Amazon. I have found the total cost of their coins (item + shipping) to be higher than either ebay or a dealer. I think you're wasting funds buying coins on Amazon. It's great for most other things though.

    Amazon is high for coins. You might think about buying a metal detector and try to find some coins with it or a Whitman Redbook.

    I agree with the above posters. Don't buy coins on Amazon. Buy other stuff you would be buying, spend $50 in cash on coins.
    I'd suggest picking up some Curb Your Enthusiasm DVDs. Season 8 comes out in June.

    Well I got:

    1. A guide book of Morgan Silver Dollars. (looks interesting).
    2. A 1/2 oz silver 2012 year of the dragon round.

    I know it doesn't seem like much. However shipping on each item is high. I wanted a bunch of inexpensive items, but shipping was more than half the gift card.

    # 1 on your list I strongly urge you to get as it is a complete history of Morgans and a great education on the series.

    You should have bought books that had free shipping. You gotta learn how to shop around.

    That's something he's getting sniped on.
