Good Binoculars Around $60?

I am looking to pick up an introductory pair of binoculars to start
viewing the night sky. I have done some research and now just need to
settle on an item. I'm a poor college student so my budget is limited.
Hopefully I can find something with BAK4 coating in the 10x50mm range.
Any ideas? Models to avoid? Can I see the Messier 110 (I live in Iowa,
lots of dark sky)?
