    Not rare, but an enjoyable find by searching patiently on eBay.
    (Cracked out now and placed into a Dansco.)

    Here is a 1976 Kennedy purchased in a small lot offered on eBay (also cracked out for my toned Dansco set.)


    Love these! Looks like a hell of a 7070 you’re putting together.

    Jeez... in the last 3 1/2 years, I've only purchased 3 coins on eBay, and one went back. I've gotten some cool paper, some tough airplane models, and other assorted goodies since then. And I've sold thousands of coins...

    This was the one I got 3 1/2 years ago. Easy to find. Really hard to find nice--no spots, no haze.


    And while I'm looking at my quarters, this one is from WAY long ago (early 2000s). The photo was of a jet black reverse. I took a little gamble.


    Love the bicentenial quarter 😍

    I bought this one raw on eBay. A couple months ago. Patiently waiting for PCGS to crucify my coin with some low or no grade

    Most of my collection is from eBay. Here are some coins that were worth buying.

    It's free advertising for the big boys especially if potential buyers can find them through their name, etc..
