I'm curious what treasures people have found online while staying at home under self-isolation or quarantine due to Coronavirus COVID19.

I found a nice 25c 1872H A over V for $2.25 last week.

I stash my coin buys all around the home and many times forget their hiding places....... Last week,I found a bag of coins I bought from my LCS around August 2019, within it was a 1916 2 feather (not notated) Buff labeled XF, (but I feel it's more towards hi-AU) and 5 mixed dates ASEs.....
Rest in Peace

I found a No Aureate Plating loonie I forgot about.

And several bags of loose cents and five cent pieces I have been meaning to look through for errors.

Still working however so have less free time than a lot of folks.

Amazing score and the seller knew about the variety :

Notice the flaw, V looks like A, very rare

I've added a few lately. A 2004 UNC 50 cent. Finally filled that hole. A 2020 Specimen Toonie to continue the "no security mark" end of my toonies. The Born in 2020 Loonie and a few others to share with friends.
