Got a killer deal on eBay recently. I don't buy much there due to prices, but I took a gamble.

Ad for 245 silver war nickles, dated 1941 to 1945. I think we all see the problem here. The nickels in the photo all looked dark, so I took a shot. Well, I ended up paying $138 shipped and thought I most likely got ripped off. The guy wasn't a coin dealer, so I thought maybe it was a one time sale. They arrived today. 234 of them were actual silver war nickles! Melt as of today, $420.

Best score yet, really helps the stack

Wow well done. Better than the lot I got a few weeks ago. Also war nickels though.

Good thing the ebay auction wasn't being run by Idaho Copper... otherwise he would have pulled the auction!

Those deals are why I still surf ebay almost every day.

me too. But wow, never got one that good.

Job well done!

I typically avoid searching eBay and assume that missing auction detail means a high probability of intended deception. But this is a great story. Congrats on the great buy!

I was worried about this myself.

Wow, ok. So I actually just got my best one yet by far, close to PADFH but still not quite as good.

Holy crap, awesome score!! Looks like you came in around half price.

Yeah, I was shocked, there were only 12 views and no one was bidding! Even so, PADFH's deal was better. Even with a generous discount due to the 35% content, he still came it at about 40%
