[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1632078, member: 22585"]Nice love token! I have had so many amazing deals on ebay I couldn't possibly post them. However the first big gamble that paid off was an auction for a album of Canada Large cents including 25 extra. The images were terrible and really didn't show much. It also said "Doesn't contain any key dates" I figured I could get a decent collection fo them for a reasonable price. I ended up winning it for around $75. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least. The very first one was the first year (1858). Which is the key date and is at least 3x's more valuable than what I paid for the entire set. In fact, it ended up that it was only missing about 9 coins. Some real beauties were in there, and in the extra ones. A few examples: [IMG]http://memberitemcdn13.coinnection.com/1000_2a6777a19b25dd1f5ff159f554bc48ad9450f82fe47d289.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://memberitemcdn.coinnection.com/shared_ii2689404f8c959468da8.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://memberitemcdn.coinnection.com/shared_ii2704844f8c95c6554d0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://memberitemcdn.coinnection.com/shared_ii2644004f8c87cd602bf.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://memberitemcdn3.coinnection.com/1000_1803c7860c4b489ebd2da76c980c1c9cd150f82daf9b73c.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
