    I have been looking on ebay for pre 1900s British coins, I want to add a few to my collection. Want to spend 50-100 USD for a handful. What are some good things to look for? I know "good" issubjective I just want to get some ideas :) , my Standard Catalog of World Coins is only 1901- up.

    Based on those pics there no way to tell if it's genuine or not. But even if it is genuine, I wouldn't say it's overpriced either. Much world coinage is surprisingly affordable.

    But rather than cruising ebay and taking a chance, I might suggest you take a look at what a trustworthy dealer might have to offer. Try this one - Civitas

    thanks for pointing me to that dealer, sounds like a better idea then talking uneducated guesses on ebay items.
