Message:: [QUOTE="mralexanderb, post: 712251, member: 7851"]Have fun, that's a big part of the hobby. I must admit though, I bought a similar "lot" for about $11 on the spur of the moment just as the auction was ending. When the coins arrived I tore the package open to find a bunch of worthless coins, basically change in plastic flips that had a description like: "2003 Space Shuttle Columbia Disintergrates Upon Re-entry". And with it a 2003 Lincoln cent. Or "1947 Billionaire Howard Hughes Flies The Spruce Goose" with a 1947 penny. These coins would be barely OK for a child's first coin collection. So, don't get your hopes up too much as almost everyone who commented that these "Estate Type" auctions usually don't amount to much more than pocket change. The lesson I learned from my experience is don't look at the coin auctions that are just about to end unless you've done some research beforehand. My friend, I hope you have better luck than I.
