<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2885946, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;ve posted from time to time about BIN bargains I&#039;ve found by camping on the new listings. There&#039;s been a lot of life happening over the past year or two, and I haven&#039;t had time for that part of the hobby, but I tried again this weekend. It looks like it&#039;s still worthwhile if you&#039;ve got the time and patience.</p><p><br /></p><p>Case 1:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-US-Mint-Olympic-Gold-and-Silver-Commemorative-One-Dollar-Coins-4-sets-160-/302497552611" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-US-Mint-Olympic-Gold-and-Silver-Commemorative-One-Dollar-Coins-4-sets-160-/302497552611" rel="nofollow">1984 US Mint Olympic Gold and Silver Commemorative One Dollar Coins-4 sets $160</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The title&#039;s certainly confusing, and the BIN price of $180 doesn&#039;t match, but what was offered was a total of one $5 gold Olympic commem and six silver dollar commems -- at least $380 melt value, for $180. I saw it and clicked on it on it one minute <i>after</i> someone else bought it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Case 2:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-OF-33-BARBER-DIMESS-90-SILVER-CIRCULATED-1896-1916-/292303151461" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-OF-33-BARBER-DIMESS-90-SILVER-CIRCULATED-1896-1916-/292303151461" rel="nofollow">LOT OF 33 BARBER DIMESS 90% SILVER CIRCULATED 1896 - 1916</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-OF-33-BARBER-DIMESS-90-SILVER-CIRCULATED-1896-1916-/292303151461" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-OF-33-BARBER-DIMESS-90-SILVER-CIRCULATED-1896-1916-/292303151461" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p>33 well-worn Barber dimes for $39 shipped -- meh, they&#039;re light, so it&#039;s probably not <i>really</i> below melt, but worth a look.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hang on, is that an <i>S</i> on the reverse of that 1896? By golly, I believe it is! And the coin looks to be a solid Good, with full rims and no obvious damage. This one didn&#039;t go quite as quickly, so I had time to snag it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing else noteworthy this weekend, but enough to whet my appetite for more...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
