So I won and purchased this on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/16087697077....m1439.l2649

I don't know if I spent too much or not but by looking at all his other auctions I felt like it was an old collection of someones that he/she randomly received. I am excited to look through everything and see what I may possibly get! Opinions?

I thought it said 'free standard shipping'?

I would say you did O.K. for $50.00

Sometimes these deals turn out great other times they turn to mud
But hay ya never know until ya have a go
I really hope this turns out well for you because you had the caj..ba..Heart to have a crack at it
Either way YOU will learn from this and $50 is not an expensive price for a bit of education

I agree. While the $50 is a gamble, it still might be really fun to look through. The fun alone could make it worthwhile.

So I received the package today and wasn't really happy with what I got. 95 percent of the wheats were in the 40s. I did get more toned coins though. I will finish going through the box this weekend. Will update with some pictures of the toned coins.
