<p>[QUOTE="Ancient Aussie, post: 3161764, member: 80147"]I have had a run of luck lately and picked up quite a few bargain coins, the three I am posting cost no more than $75 US with the cheapest $62US. I will display them below from most expensive $75 down to cheapest $62 and would like your input as to what you think was the best bargain and why. It will be interesting to get everyone's ideas on what constitutes a bargain buy so please vote in the poll and describe your choice in the thread.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]811743[/ATTACH] 1st at $75.</p><p>M.
