[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 321150, member: 8012"]I'm sure we all have our own E-bay "war" stories. But I remember trolling one night at 3 a.m. and someone had put a complete set of Jeffersons in some category - it was basically "rummage sale" or such. Anyways, there were no bid, I checked the guys past auctions and it was stuff like lava lamps, elk horn wall hangings, etc. He said the coins came from a local auction.... The pictures showed a really worn album with the nickels. Well, $17 later, I got it in hand and yes, ENTIRE 1938-1962 set of Jeffersons with most of the '50's and '60's being in almost AU shape. Apparently the guy had pulled the nickels out of circulation as they became available. Downside. The earlier coins apparently fell out of there holes, so he or she had put scotch tape over the holes of the coins on the first page. Sorry DJP - I'm rambling. But every once in a while, you get a little bit of treasure!!!![/QUOTE]
