Here's what I got for about $80

From the gas station clerk on my team, I paid $25 for these silver coins (18 us dimes, 3 Canadian, 1 us quarter)

Then I bought myself this neat little lighted magnifier for around $14

Then I stopped by a little antique/second hand shop and got these foreign coins in the plastic box for $30. I offered $20; he said $40; we met in the middle.
