<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 2339294, member: 15019&quot;]This is maybe the third time I found gold that was completely unexpected in about a decade of buying bulk world lots. But yes I have also found non-gold rarities and much more often than gold coins. My best bulk lot find to date is this 1918 US admin Philippine mule 5 centavos.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/Philippines_1918_mule2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/Philippines_1918_mule1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>With condition in consideration, the 1918 mule is arguably the rarest coin of all from US admin Philippines. Compare to this finest known MS64 example that went to auction at Heritage: <a href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/philippines/world-coins/philippines-usa-administration-mule-5-centavos-1918-s-/a/3032-25633.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/philippines/world-coins/philippines-usa-administration-mule-5-centavos-1918-s-/a/3032-25633.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/itm/philippines/world-coins/philippines-usa-administration-mule-5-centavos-1918-s-/a/3032-25633.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515</a></p><p>Or the most recent one, which is an MS61 <a href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/philippines/world-coins/philippines-usa-administration-mule-5-centavos-1918-s-ms61-pcgs-/a/3044-31371.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/philippines/world-coins/philippines-usa-administration-mule-5-centavos-1918-s-ms61-pcgs-/a/3044-31371.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/itm/philippines/world-coins/philippines-usa-administration-mule-5-centavos-1918-s-ms61-pcgs-/a/3044-31371.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515</a></p><p><br /></p><p>While I don&#039;t expect mine to be worth the crazy sums these coins sold for, it&#039;s still my best eBay lot find and one of the best coins in my entire collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
