It’s a beautiful day to be at the flea market.
200 for the lot (16.00 each) and they threw in the 1851 trime. Woo woo

    Great buy, especially that rare "holes-in-stars" variety.

    Maybe that's the Israeli variety.

    That is one awesome flea market find, even with the damaged stars on the 1832!

    All I've seen at flea markets and swap meets are way overpriced often harshly cleaned coins.

    @DNADave Sounds like a good deal, but, what are those... looks like, holes/plugged holes on the shield and below EPU.

    Cropped and rotated.

    Some of these have problems. I’m still glad to have them. I’ll take some better pics when I get home

    You have the potential to more than double your money on eBay for the group, sold individually.

    That was $200 well spent!

    Great find and looks like it was worth the price... As mentioned above, you can likely sell for a profit... Or, as in my case, I would keep them and display them. Cheers, RickO

    These typically have large flat spots of wear which can “shine up” when in contact with others. Some of these show that. Three have pretty severe problems. I’ll have some fun with Overton trying to categorize them tonight.
