<p>[QUOTE="Joe Campbell, post: 8081911, member: 89857"]I bought a sort of mixed lot of coins on eBay a couple of weeks ago. Had ~$13 face in barbers, merc’s, Rosie’s and a few Franklins. Had a decent circulated shield nickel, some V nickels and a small pile of foreign currency. All of that I was pretty indifferent to. But the lot also had a roll of war nickels with a single pretty poor picture showing them piled up outside of a tube. Now there are few things I like more then sub-standard photo’s on eBay, plus I almost never pay more than about 50% of melt for war nickels. However, the nickels looked pretty decent to the best of ability so I thought I’d take a swing. I added $60 for the roll of nickels and decided to spin the wheel of eBay fortune (or misfortune). </p><p><br /></p><p>After some substantial delays in shipping the package arrived today. I have to say I was very pleased with the condition of the nickels. I believe 26 of them are MS and the other 14 are still pretty decent for the most part. In the pictures below the MS’ish coins are either in 2x2’s now or getting close to being in. The 14 ‘other’ nickels are shown in a group lot at the end. </p><p><br /></p><p>Had 3 different pretty good buys this week which is great.
