shipping cost is a lot of money, anyway, you can get all of those dates from a box of nickels or from a box of half dollars for face value, plus you have a good chance on finding some silver.

I used to never go on eBay but really I've found some really good deals lately, especially on foreign coins. I collect British coins and the only coin shop in my area doesn't deal with many British coins, so I've been getting them off of eBay. Its amazing how many old coins in nice condition you can find with European coins. For example, $20 will buy you a half crown from the late 1800s, slightly larger than a US half dollar struck in sterling silver and in about uncirculated condition. On the other hand, a Barber half dollar, from about the same time period or a bit later will set you back $50+ in even extra fine condition.
