Hello Everyone... Among the last few transactions I made on ebay a few months ago, I was sent these free coins along with my purchase as an "appreciation" for my patronage. I've gotten some of these in the past, like AG 1900's IHC's or Dateless Buffalo Nickels. I recently received these. They're only about a 0.1 gram "off" ,weight-wise, for a clad coin... edited to add... Oh! and they were sent as uncertified Proofs.

    I like the little bonuses sellers toss in.

    I thought it was a very nice gesture as well. I don't collect Moderns and my initial thought was:... "are these even real?!" lol!! After I looked them up on Coinfacts, it became apparent that they're not worth getting certified, but they're beautiful nonetheless! It also presented a chance to play with lighting in my photo set up a little. These are the first DCAM coins I've ever really had the opportunity to image. Not the typical freebie, for sure!

    I have 60 to 120 sales a day on ebay and love dumping random coins in the packages. Easy way to get rid of cheap coins that I dont want to end up having volume of.

    Very thoughtful. A plus for buyer and seller.
