Am guessing you sold the remaining 6 as a lot to keep shipping low.

Fun read. I love taking gambles on ebay. If you use common sense and some knowledge you can get some great buys.

Time to update this thread. Kept one coin and sold the rest on ebay for $98...

...I got the whole lot for $56, kept the 1838, and sold the remaining six for a total of $98 before fees. Basically I got a free large cent and $42.
Excellent!

Yes I sold them all individually. I charged 50˘ shipping on each to cover a stamped envelope.

I like your technique. I don't usually sell stuff but this seems like a decent way to get some cheap or even free coins. much better than paying my own money. heck I was thinking that paying $10 for the coin might not have been too bad of a deal at first when it turns out you got paid $42 and the coin free
Rest in Peace

Buying coins in lots is definitely a profitable venture for me. I have made several hundred dollars and kept many coins in the past year by using this method.
