I haven't bought off of ebay in a while (haven't had the money) but I saw this with only one bid and snagged it at the last second. I'm thinking I did pretty good assuming that all the coins pictured are in their correct holes. I only saw it with about 3-4 minutes left so I didn't have much time to price it out, but just a quick look gives me this (he says they're all AG so the value could really vary but I think these are pretty conservative):

Flying Eagle Cents:
1857- $5-10
1858- $5-10

Indian Cents:
1859- $3-5
1862- $3-5
1863- $3-5
1865- $3-5

Lib Nicks-
1883 W/ Cents- $5-10
1888- $10-15
1889- $5-10

Buff Nicks-
1913 TI- $3-5
1915- $2-3
1916s- $3-5

Not bad. A couple of years ago, I bought an IH cent collection for $45. I did just what you did. I figured all of the coins were G4 and priced it out. Once I got it, I realized that there was an extra 1872 in place of one of the coins from the 1880s. That coin was worth the price that I paid +.

Hope you get lucky too!
