    Hey Folks,

    I have about $80 in eBay bucks that I have to spend in two days. Unlike last time where I purchased supplies with my bucks, this time I will most definitely purchase a coin. Please feel free to recommend something off of eBay that costs $80 or less (shipping included). It can be any coin that you think is worth buying, but cannot cost a cent over $80.00. Please feel free to share the link right here. Time is of the essence, so telling me to buy some random medieval coin won't be as helpful as sending me a link for one. Thank you for the input!

    Really, whatever you want to get me is fine. I trust your judgement @Seattlite86 ;)
    I will look at a couple things when I get home.

    I like okbustchaser's choice as well. Looks like I will be of no help.

    I do love me some German States coinage! Thanks for the recommendations. :) Showing me the Frankfurt ones reminds me how much I want to get the Frankfurt City views. This one would be a dream, but is not within my reach at the moment: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PCGS-Frank...996&pg=2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

    Send offers out on Large Cents! I have scored some seriously nice coins for 50$-75$ 1794 Liberty caps. Just about finding the right one, and a seller to accept! Im looking tonight for a 200$ coin, probably gonna pick up another Liberty Cap or draped bust. Multiple if I can manage it! :)

    Oh, darn it, you make a good point and I should consider those. Are there any must haves for people who collect US Type coins, or German States coins? What about any must haves in general for numismatists? I do own Making the Grade as well as the ANA Grading Standards books.

    I'm seeing plenty of Trade dollars for under $50 on eBay. Various years, and conditions. :)
    Seriously though, use those suckers before they expire.

    Brandon, this seller usually has a nice selection of coins and is to be recommended.
    This is a link to his pre-1871 German State coins which you may find interesting, including many items in the price range of $80 and below.

    https://www.ebay.com/sch/nsw-leipzig/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

    He also sells other European and World Coins so good chances you will find something of interest if you want something else.
