I don't usually buy coins on ebay (I think I've done it twice in the past), but during my lunch hour yesterday I saw this item and placed a bid, fully expecting to be outbid.

I didn't even check to see when the auction ended.

When I got home last night I had an email saying I was the winning bidder.

I am pretty happy with my $18.27 purchase.

Now that concerns me. I hope that is not the new perceived value of these coins. Not knocking your score at all. That's a great pick up!
