Message:: [QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 2829483, member: 43130"]I bought the 3 Indian cents on eBay for $8 total and listed them as Buy-it-now separately and people bought them. Well, actually one of those 3 is currently at auction as a part of a collection, but the other 2 already sold for $22 shipped, and the 1902 only cost me $15.88. So I just assumed to count the profit from the collection towards my new 1902 "freebie." However, I cherrypicked a 1880 FS-101 Indian Cent last Saturday at my local coin shop for $50... which will sell for $500 or so eventually, so the free Indian Head Cent is easily funded with these buys.But to get deeper into your question, of how to do this, take this one for example. I won this last night for $76.01. Blurry pics, but look at the full rim dentils and the RTY of LIBERTY that can still be seen. Also, it was listed in the wrong category, which eliminated all the buyers looking for a 20 cent piece. I take risks, yes, but I'll bet you doubling up on this coin will be easy, perhaps even tripling up, even based on the awful pics. I believe I can even see luster on the reverse! I'll post actual pics of it when it arrives. My theory/challenge is that if I practice knowing what to look for, I'm careful with how much I spend, and I look for varieties and cherrypick, I can find a complete set, fully funded by flipping coins of the same type.[ATTACH=full]666615[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]666616[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
