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.

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.

thats awsome
"The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent." John Kenneth Galbraith 1975

Bully!
Take a picture of the broken box and demand a refund!
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

I think you should send Copper Catcher the coins. I have received some great boxes from him in the past.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more
