[QUOTE="Kalmetam, post: 772825, member: 22375"]Well today I decided to buy 1 lb. of world coins for $11 at a store nearby. The guy let me choose as many of whatever coins I wanted in the bin as long as it came out to one pound altogether. One coin popped out at me, and the guy apparently as well. I took it out and he started staring at it confused. It was a 2000 American Bald Eagle $10 colorized coin from Liberia, in what seemed to be uncirculated condition. Here's a pic I got off eBay: [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/12/!Bh++ghg!2k~$(KGrHqYH-CgEsLPGRlujBLMKSk2lNg~~_12.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/02/!Bh++h,Q!Wk~$(KGrHqUH-CsEsL,gljoTBLMKStyCCQ~~_35.JPG[/IMG] As soon as I got home I looked it up on ebay to see how much it was going for.. and I was surprised to see it was going for $23. I'm not even sure if that is it's actual value... but I know this coin is probably worth more than the money I paid for the "Grab Bag"[/QUOTE]
