There are far more coin collecting wannabes who'll be happy to pay $100 for a $40 coin. On this one I raised my snipe to $5 BELOW what a Buy It Now that looked about the same as this one to me. The difference between them was a major diff in postage costs, where the BIN guy wants 3X the shipping cost of the auction one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of ebay sellers and their shipping, I am finding that the USPS is holding onto a parcel for up to six days before it leaves some of their facilities.
