[QUOTE="Stork, post: 2567835, member: 71642"]Well, the guy had another 1.0 gram listed...but it looked like he was using the same/stock photo. And, he had a few duplicate auctions and what looks like the same photos. So, I just bought 9 coins from him using the shopping cart. The default was 69 cents per coin but I hit the button for an invoice for all 9. I'll let you know what total shipping I get. Honestly, I wouldn't have balked at the 69 cents per coin...but then I'd expect 9 different envelopes :D. This will be an interesting sub-$30 experiment and if it works right I will have a 1.0 gram coin plus some 'BU' coins that fill date holes. I REALLY hope these are what he says they are. The mid 20th century coins of Japan are tricky to find in BU condition, despite their generally enormous mintages and low catalog prices. War time and delicate metal content did not work in their favor. Thanks OP for bringing post this...if I get a few decent coins out of this (at reasonable prices no less), this is a big win.[/QUOTE]
