<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aubade21, post: 1643100, member: 44104&quot;]My mistake, like some others on this thread, was an impulse buy on Ebay. I was looking at US coins with the grouping of &quot;ending soonest.&quot; As I was scrolling through,</p><p>I noticed one auction that had a mixed lot of coins, with a below average picture (about twenty coins randomly spread around), and less that 2 minutes left. (Insert Jaws warning music here.) The title was pretty generic, something like &quot;silver coins,&quot; and there was no description to speak of.&nbsp; So I&#039;m thinking that must have stumbled upon a lot of junk silver that nobody else has noticed and I better hurry and throw in a bid.&nbsp; After having to resign in to ebay, there was about 12 seconds remaining to throw in a bid...which I did. *Sigh* </p><p>It was only later that I noticed that three of the &quot;silver&quot; coins were not silver at all (1965 dime, 1966 Quarter, 1941 nickel), and the crappy pictures were not detailed enough to make out dates.</p><p>(I just assumed that it was ALL junk silver.)</p><p>Anyway, I made a lot of dumb errors on that purchase. But it was also a good lesson and a series of mistakes that I have not duplicated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
