I'd guess someone's figuring they can resell them for at least $60 each since that's the lowest in price (G) in this date range in the RedBook. However, with all the coins being described as problem, I don't see much potential there. The only rarity in this range of dates is the 1830 large letters variety, but the ad doesn't even list an 1830.

One of those deals where someone does not understand what they are bidding on.

$50.77 each. The seller must be real happy.

Not worth $150 to be honest (even holed capped busts go for the $15-$20 range), I was thinking more in the $350 ballpark because some are decent coins....not all are culls. So unless there is a rare variety, someone is pretty dumb.

TWO people bid really high so that tells me that there may actually be a rare variety in that mix...

Maybe, but it takes at least two to get that high. I love it when I'm on the recieving end of auctions like this..and it happens often enough.
I am going to try to make a toasted cheese sandwich with the likeness of an 1895 Morgan dollar on it, bet that will bring a few bucks too !

Not just holed/plugged/damaged--but tooled too. Look at that 1826.
Excepting a rarity in there, that auction just isn't "nice".
