  BTW, I was thinking it is $10 total, not $30 but rereading it the terms aren't clear. Knowing ebay I would expect it to be $10 total. Typically goofy of ebay to push free shipping and then give us a coupon urging us to buy from guys with too high shipping.... --Jerry

  All I can say is that I can't wait to read your negative when you get 3 corroded steel cents and two common date wheaties.
  
  I thought that "grab-bag" auctions were no longer allowed? At least $5-$6 profit on shipping $0.20 of coins for a buck twenny five? Sheesh.

  Shoot, you just reminded me. I'll try to use mine on a 28mm old Canon lens I need to buy.

  My pack of "wholesale" coins arrived today. If you check the auction, I paid $1.25 by paypal. I had used an Ebay coupon to negate the $8.99 shipping. I think that for $1.25 I wasn't ripped off, but I feel sorry for those who paid the shipping. (grades listed are my own evaluation.) I received:
  1. 1958 Lincoln MS60 Red
  2. 1962 Jefferson MS62, weak strike
  3. 1944 Merc F
  4. 1899 Indian Head Cent G
  5. 1896 Indian cent G details but PVC and porosity problems, especially around the eye on the obv.
  
  I had always wondered what kind of junk one gets in these lots and I am glad for the experience.

  I collect circulated U.S. silver

  Photos?
  
  Did they have $9 worth of packing or were they sent in an envelope?
  
  I used my free shipping on a camera lens but I only saved $6.

  It's $10 each time. I've already used it twice, and they were both for $10. Hope this helps.
