recent ebay purchases. how did i do?

[ATpro5]

I got in the mood recently to purchase some coins off eBay. They seemed like good deals so I went for it. Would anyone mind estimating the value on these coins or telling me anything I should know about them? After I get a few opinions I'll reveal how much I paid for them. Thanks everyone.

those are real nice "fillers" of must have coins in different type sets. I would call them examples only and not investments.

Agreed. But... what did you pay ?

Invest in some coin books.

Estimated value is around $140, give or take a little. All seem to be in good to very good shape, but what did you pay?

I'm thinking value around $100. I would have paid around $60 or $70 if I was bidding on them.
I can't get myself to pay retail for coins.
Nice mix of coins though.

Thanks for the responses guys, I spent around 60$ including shipping. I was refining the search to ending soonest and would scroll until i found a coin for what i thought was underpriced. Guess i did well! oh and I have coin books... probably to many of them haha

I enjoy the redbook, etc. For identifying key dates and varieties but in all honesty.... the values are way overpriced. Coins on eBay always go for less than redbook values it seems like. And this was my first coin purchase so I thought I'd see how I did from all the experts here on TNet.

that's the way to do it, like buying a used car...you don't shop for the car you shop for the price.
