  I wouldn't pay that much for them, but some fool might.

  Common variety Fugios seems to have a basal value of about a $100, so the total for the group doesn't seem unrealistic for someone interested in them.
  
  Also, I didn't attempt top attribute these from the seller's scan, but depending on the varieties they may be worth more.

  I didn't realize that they were that affordable. Are they that common?

  They are that affordable if they are very low grade, corroded, with problems, not slabbable, etc. Plus one has a hole in it.

  Several Fugio hoards are known to exist in MS and not for sale.
  Several hundred perhaps.
  
  Why would a Canadian bury 6 US cents?
  Part of a larger hoard maybe?

  I've got a holed one on the keychain for my spare post office box key that the wife uses now and then.
