<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jlblonde, post: 2209874, member: 32000&quot;]Basically whatever comes my way except for NCLTs. I tend to favor low priced obscure coins over collecting a series of ordinary issues. But when the money tree isn&#039;t in full bloom type sets of common coins helps see me through the famine.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had ceased purchasing and or actively collecting coins last year due to the financial down turn in the construction industry last November. </p><p>This lot was my first purchase since then. </p><p><br /></p><p>I picked these, plus many more I haven&#039;t posted yet, up at a local coin shop.</p><p>I paid about $180 for the lot. The shop had them priced at $220 Krause value. They gave me a discount because I&#039;m a regular there. If I had purchased them on eBay I would have paid $300 plus shipping. </p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, I used to find these type of coins in foreign junk bins just a few years ago. Not any more though. Visiting Asian and Indian buyers buy the lot (several bins at a time) and the coin shops are all to happy to get rid of their foreign &quot;junk&quot; coins. Now the Los Angeles area is a barren waste land when it comes to foreign bin &quot;dumpster diving&quot; finds. There&#039;s none to be had...so sad...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
