eBay Detective Work. See what motivated me to bid on this auction...

I'll link the eBay auction and as you go through the listing see if there is anything that would catch your eye and get you to potentially bid.
I will add this was a seven day auction and it started out at $99.00
There were two other bidders plus my bid.

    Perhaps. Probably not. It is at least a "D" issue though.
    The coin appears VF/XF.

    I think it was worth the gamble. No matter what, you can't lose much based on just the bullion value alone. Keep us posted when you get it.

    Either way a fun gamble with not much downside.
    Good luck.

    I didn't see what stuck out but figured it was a decent price even if there wasn't anything special (just in the album and value of the individual coins). If the nickel

  • The Liberty nickel weirdly looks fake. I would love to get (another) one of these albums on-the-cheap someday. I actually picked one up for free many years ago and inadvertently donated it as a door prize to the club that I was then a member of.
