    I once won a 1921 Morgan for 99 cents bin. Free shipping. I think the seller meant to post it at auction, so I expected him to cancel the transaction, but to my shock, I received it in the mail!

    Yes, but rarely, for obvious reasons. I think I got an Ike and a Kennedy for a dollar once.

    Actually, now that I think about it, I frequently "win" coins for under face value at CoinStar reject slots... :)

    Now, just a minute. $12 x 18 = $216. Including shipping, I think you're ten dollars in the hole here. :rolleyes:

    If your criterion is "the seller got less than face value after shipping and fees", my hit rate is a bit better. And I still don't see why any seller would do that!

    I only paid $215.66 though. And now my penny jar has a gold layer in it, haha.

    Not on EBay, but I have got a lot over the years at less than spot on other auction sites.

    I got this amazing Blank Planchet set for $20.00 at a flea market... I don't think the seller knew what he had!

    Hhm! Face value is 10 cents and you paid $24. I don't think that qualifies for this thread.

    :hilarious:... Hahahaha. I meant in Mint Error Value. Just to get that one slabbed is much more than $24.00.. And the Error itself should be more that $40.00 ;)

    I won 3 wheat penny rolls last year for $0.99 along with the 12 other coins I combined shipping on and the seller never sent them.
    When I called him on it he just blew me off.
