I've found all kinds of non-coin treasures, high end accoustic guitars for $20, rare 1800's planers for $5 worth almost $1000. Its kinda fun when someone else's ignorance equals my bliss ;) Admittedly though, the only coins I've purchased was a role of 1940's circulated wheaties for $1, including several steel cents. Bought it more for the old plastic roll holder than anything. But then, I wasn't actively collecting at the time, so who knows what I will come across now :)[/QUOTE]
