I see close to 5 Troy ounces (rough estimate)of silver, so with everything else I wish that I had been the lucky buyer!

Thanks to everyone for your replies. Indeed, the price was fairly decent for this lot but compared to other lots this wasn't a special deal. I just bought 2 smaller lots from classified ads and paid about 215 € with shipping. I guess they will arrive by the end of next week and I will make sure to show them here. One small sneak preview that I can give is that one of the lots contains a few splendid Indian Head cents, at least one of them being a pretty scarce key date with mintage below 5 million pieces so stay tuned ;) Best regards from Berlin Edited by Potsdam

So you bought the lot for 55 Euro and got all the silver included. Let's just start with the bullion value at the silver price of the day:
- 3 French 5 Francs: 14.7
- 1 Two Shilling: 2.77
- 1 Sixpence: 0.69 Euro
- 2 Swiss 5 Francs: 12.26
- 1 Swiss 2 Franc: 4.09
- 3 Swiss 1 Franc: 6.12
- 6 Swiss 1/2 Franc: 6.12
- 1 Italian 500 Lire: 4.50
- 5 Austrian 10 Schilling: 11.75
- 1 Belgian 50 Francs coin: 5.11
In total: 68.11 Euro just in bullion value. And then you got about 200 coins and shipping in addition. Good deal? Yes sir!

Thanks Ultrarant :) As I said, I recently purchased two more lots. The first one arrived today and should be nice to look at for the collectors of Indian Head cents. Sorry for the bad images, I will provide better scans later  First two coins are Westfalen Notgeld and a Prussian 1/6 Thaler (contemporary counterfeit).  Then there is a bunch of older Italian coins.  Then there are some really nice cents: 1852, 1859, 1864, 1865, 1871, 1886, 1890 (2), 1898, 1908, 1910  I guess the 1871 Cent is at least about XF. I will try to provide a high-res scan later tonight. Oh and I paid 150 € incl. shipping for everything. I guess that is pretty decent regarding the prices for these Cents. |

You have given us some enjoyable homework to do!
So far all purchases seem to add up to a nice little 'paper' profit.
If you were to re sell them immediately, you should at least make a small realised real profit out of them.
You have a similar approach to buying coins as myself.

Well, I'll keep this thread updated with the lots I buy.
The 'profit' for me in these lots is just the fact that I can reduce the costs of coins for my collection by selling the coins I do not collect.

The 1871 Indian cent looks at least very fine, maybe extra fine. Coin Dealer Newsletter Graysheet is 230$ in VF and 360$ in XF. You did well! |

I'm honestly a tad envious and still hoping to find such a fantastic deal once myself. Once again, congrats on three fantastic deals!
