I have here 150 coins in 2x2 holders, pocket pages, and a three-ring binder. The pages and binder are old, but so are some of the coins- there are many from the 1800s. A good mix of countries and denominations are represented.
There are no duplicates.
These are my "in between" cheapie coins- the ones that are a little too old or interesting or valuable or whatever to put in my 3/$1 pick bin at the antique mall, but not quite valuable enough to merit my pricelist or the showcases at my booth. There is a lot of 75-cent stuff in here and probably a few worth a buck or two individually. Some of the older stuff would've been more valuable but for a problem or two- to be fair, I should mention many (though not necessarily all) of the 1800s coins are problem pieces. But if they weren't, they wouldn't be for sale at around 60 cents each, now, would they?
Basically this is "high end junkbox" material, and lots of it. Think "junque" rather than "junk".
After I assembled this lot, I thought I should probably add a little silver. There's one Franklin Mint proof medal at the end of the binder that might be silver (looks like it, but I am not sure), but to be sure there was at least a tiny bit of silver, I will throw in two additional "mystery bonus" silver coins, for a total of 152 pieces overall. One of these will be a crown or crown-sized piece.
First taker at $99 gets the whole shebang: binder, bonuses, shipping, and all. (Though if you live outside the USA, I gotta stick you with an extra shipping charge.)
Y'know what? 152 is not quite a nice round number, and there are eight slots left in the last page, so I will throw in eight more mystery coins. These won't be silver and they'll likely be more like 35-cent coins, but I will cherrypick some interesting stuff out of the 3/$1 bin to round up to 160 pieces, total- that's eight 20-pocket pages.

I wasn't sure there would be that much interest, but now that I see there was, I might offer other lots like this in the future.
I am also thinking of offering smaller, one-page lots (20 pieces in a single page) out of the cheaper stuff. There is still some good variety in the 35c coins. If I can figure out a way to make them worth my while and still give somebody a decent value after shipping cost is figured in, I will give that a go.
