What's this?

Note how the description includes words such as "government", "public", "museum". Does it really have something to do with any government?

Also, "early dated"? I cannot discern any devices on these coins, not to mention a date!
Rest in Peace

All you need to do is read their feedback. I wouldn't order or bid on anything from a seller with that kind of negative and neutral feedback.

Also note that you can't know what the shipping cost will actually be. One negative was from a guy that bought 6 coins and was charged $150 for postage. EEEeeppp....

Normal ebay rules do not apply to LIVE auction listings.

Shipping is stated at $19.95 per item. Per feedback comments, the seller offers no combined shipping (so charges the stated shipping per item even if they send together).

Not that I can see.

Good point

Yes, the unusually low feedback also caught my eye, though I did not analyze it in detail - as I never intended to bid on a slug with $9.95 US shipping rate per coin. It's was the unusual wording that prompted me to post it here.

Apparently I am the only one who actually read the terms. It clearly states in 2 places that shipping is $9.95.
