Good finds, raw coins on eBay

I picked up a few rather cheap raw coins on eBay about 6 weeks ago. Off they went to ANACS, one because of the cost and two, the turnaround time.
Anyway, a 63 Frankie with every color (Ben has a gold dome) in the rainbow on both sides, came back at MS65 but the toning was the big issue for me. I'll show it to JBStevens sometime soon.
Cost of the Frankie, $6.50 including shipping plus economy grading.
I also picked up some raw Mercs, 10 of them for $14 including shipping. They are all georgeous uncs, but I sent in the two best. The other 8 of them are easily MS63, but no FSB and fairly common dates.
Of the two I sent in, a 1942 came back as MS66 FSB and the other a 1935-D in MS65 FSB.
So you see folks, if you study and spend time looking around, there are still some great cherries to pick on the Bay of E.

"Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
