http://www.ebay.com/itm/120889700166?ss ... 1497.l2649I almost missed this one because it looked like one of those ripoffs where they sell a neat little made in china chest with 30 wheat pennies and sell it for $25. But I noticed that someone had put a bid on it so I took a look.
I'm still not sure exactly what I bought because there's not a lot of details but I can definitely make out a Morgan in the picture. Another good sign is that the seller's other items are all clothes and stuff so they apparently aren't a knowledgable coin person trying to scam.
We'll see if it was worth it or not in a few days!

Watch, the contents of the bag won't match what you receive. Make sure you get a hardcopy of the auction and the picture just in case.

I see some nickels there, a kennedy, and there's definitely a morgan. Nice job. Let us know what's in it.

Still waiting. They said they shipped it last Thursday so if I don't see it today or tomorrow then I'll inquire. Not worried yet though.

I think you should send Copper Catcher the coins. I have received some great boxes from him in the past.
