[QUOTE="Zebucatt, post: 7043650, member: 118774"]So this week we have, a lot of 3 from ebay marked as a estate sale. When I first started out I fell for some cast repos from a estate sale and have been a little scarred since and tend to avoid them. This week was different, I thought I would try my luck again. The lot of 3 cost me 19.99 with shipping and turned out to be a 2 out 3 success. First I will get the dud out of the way. It was very obvious this was a cast copy but I was willing to take the junk if it came with some treasure. Its a Tiberius tribute Penny cast copy.
