Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 12/29/2013 02:51 am I have been on the ebay prowl for some uncleaned LBRs as I seem to have that cleaning "itch" again. IMO, most of the experienced sellers don't offer much in the way of value, just the leftovers crumbs that aren't worth the price. I saw this lot of 102 coins and noticed the seller only had 11 for feedback which always keeps many potential buyers away. Final price $99 plus $5 shipping, basically a dollar a coin. looks like a good value lot for that price. I couldn't quite console myself so I thought I'd post it here in hopes for a coin community group hug. Cheers, -Kurt PS. I forgot to mention that I didn't win the lot because I had a feeling I could snipe this last minute for a good price but got tied up doing daddy stuff with my 2 year old and lost track of the time Edited by Biancasdad 12/29/2013 03:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

I picked up 30 once for $25 plus $5 shipping and they were already cleaned up ! While you didn't miss out on the bargain of the century I sympathize as I have done much the same thing before. It happens. Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4977 Posts	Posted 12/29/2013 11:14 am looks like there are some nice ones on the top row..but who knows...maybe that second/third row is all junk. I've lost some snipe opportunities doing stuff also...but daddy stuff is pretty important stuff. Report this Post to the Staff
Whizb4ng Pillar of the Community Canada 579 Posts	Posted 12/29/2013 11:27 am I saw this lot as well but uncleaned coins just aren't my thing anymore. I love finding sellers with low feedback though. If you are willing to take a gamble you can find some good deals because other people aren't interested in risking it. I found one this past week as well and got a Morgan dollar for not much over spot. Report this Post to the Staff
giano Valued Member 279 Posts	Posted 12/29/2013 12:02 pm However the famous phrase(Julius Caesar) is veni vidi vinci (I came I saw I won),not vendi that in italian means sell. So maybe veni vidi visa.... not vendi vidi visa !! Edited by giano 12/29/2013 12:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
