How did I do?

The value is good, but more importantly there's a huge amount of history and numismatiics to be gleaned from those coins. Nice haul.

Another purchase $25 61 Canadians,the silver dollar looks nice and I'm pretty sure I see a 1961 dime also at least one of the 1968 caribou quarters are silver.

That first group is what I look for as they are usually some one that is disposing of a passed relatives collection and don't know enough about coins to pick through them. Good purchase, in my opinion.

 

That Admiral Gardner coin is cool, if it's a legit claim.

On 24 January 1809, Captain Eastfield sailed from the Downs, bound for Madras and Bengal, at the start of Admiral Gardner's sixth voyage for the East India Co. The next day Admiral Gardner was lost on the Goodwin Sands off South Foreland when a gale tore her from her moorings. Three (or five) crew drowned.

Lost with Admiral Gardner was her cargo, a large number of EIC X and XX copper cash coins, belonging to Matthew Boulton. The EIC put the value of its cargo at £21,579.

You can see it? I expanded it and found it too dark.

 

For a few bucks,1968 might be silver the cents look fun no George V cents visible but possible.

 

11 bucks,check out the reverse for the 1918 penny its a indirect design transfer from king George's head from the obverse.

 

In God & Trust are the last to wear. We is the first to go and I think the W is there. I've gotten some great deals reading poor photos.

 

I try very very hard not to look at these mixed lots anymore.. It seems there is always 1-2 coins in a lot That i really like so bid what I'm willing to pay for just those... The problem is that while I look over the other coins, if they don't catch my intrest they go in the "junk" tub... Not really junk just stuff I don't have time for "now"... every couple years I go through the tubs again and usualy find surprises that I can't believe I tossed in a tub lol... the tubs never get emptier and 1 tub is now 4, about a gallons worth of oddball coins.

 

If you're happy then you did good!

 

You did well grasshopper but remember "never judge a book by its cover" also, "2 never make 5" grasshopper. Go now seek your wisdom.

 

Look like good lots. On the first one you got a dollar coin, so at least a buck refunded! I always take my extra Canadian change I get in lots of change and pass it to my brother in law for their trips to see his mom in Canada. Usually pays for a subway ride or two!

 

I've never had a coin missing e.t.c
but if I notice something wrong I'm quick to pounce on my part of the deal.

 

First item(second purchase)arriving today 3 days from California,not bad.
