<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 706397, member: 18157&quot;]A lot depends (imo) on why your buying the coins. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you&#039;re filling holes in collections, buying them as presents, or they have a particular meaning to you...then you did pretty well! :thumb: Sometimes it&#039;s tough to find what you&#039;re looking for. I&#039;ll pay a premium for a tough coin I really want.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you&#039;re looking for &quot;value&quot; coins...coins you can flip for a profit...well, maybe not as good. It&#039;s getting harder to find &quot;values&quot; on eBay, but they&#039;re still out there if you have the time to hunt for them (watch out for counterfeits!!!)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&#039;s a coin I bought for my nephew&#039;s 6th birthday. He collects state quarters (I think the part he likes the most is people giving him money!) I was looking for a coin 100 years older than him that he wouldn&#039;t destroy...and that might appreciate over time. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I paid $68 + $2.95 S&amp;H. The PCGS price guide lists it at $80. It wasn&#039;t a great &quot;value&quot; buy , but it was what I was looking for...so it was a good buy for me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv10/Yakpoo/fdc1_12.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv10/Yakpoo/f3ad_12.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
