Would you bid on this???? (Ebay---what did I bid on?)

Postby TheJonasCollegeFund » Sun Jun 16, 2013 11:44 am

Here's the link. Tell me if you would bid on this lot.

Min bid $9.99 + shipping $7.48

Well I did.....and I was the only one.

There was no alcohol or drugs involved. I have a knack for bidding on lots with horrible pics, I guess.

That's funny I have that lot on my watch list.

If you get hurt it wont be too bad.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

What do you guys see?????

Anything to add up to $17+?????

Let me add I was bored, at work, tired on midnights, and on my cell phone. More than one good reason NOT to bid on suspect lots!

Well I thought a couple of the Canadian quarters looked silver-ish!

I guess I was bidding on the Mexican 10%er, the Canadian coinage and crossing my fingers for Canadian silver. The US dollar coins would be a bonus.

That is what I think I was doing....I think.

There is definitely not 37 dollars in the picture.

I can see 2 or 3.

I see no Kennedy halfs.

And I guess there might be an Ike or maybe not.

Next time you get the urge for a pile of foreign coins let me know. I'll turn you on to my 50/50 deal, 50 coins from 50 different countries and I'll even throw in a SBA dollar. One of the more popular items I have on Webstore and Amazon.

I glanced at this, wouldn't have bid based on what I saw. Nice score!

This is the one I picked up last week: contained $8 Canadian and 6 euro.
