Cool. What did you pay for those? It's too bad they weren't made of copper(!).
I buy grab bags all the time from a store that sells collectibles of all kinds. He usually prices them by weight, without any real regard to what the coins really are.
Because he doesn't specialize in coins, it sometimes works to my advantage, because I occasionally find something really worthwhile in them. Same thing for currency -- he gets it and usually prices it at a buck or two a note, somewhat arbitrarily. This really worked great last month when I got two Five Pound Notes of '60s vintage from him for a buck each.
