Best Of

If Pierre Fricke is there at the show I highly recommend checking out his booth. He has some nice circulated large cents including Classic heads and I’ve noticed his pricing is often much better than elsewhere. I purchased this one a few years ago from him in an old green holder for about 1/2 of what I was expecting to spend

Congrats!

I hope that you get it, I think they are winner coins!

On 12/23 the Mint reported -4 coins...⇊...
.

Does that mean that you're potential coin was a return/reject? No.
Please report back if it ships to you, and the condition that it is in.
Great work and commitment to get a "cheap" FHG!

Not to say that there will be anything wrong with it, but where do you think it could possibly come from, other than one of those 4 that were returned to inventory? Do you think a janitor in the warehouse stumbled across it while cleaning up? Do you think it's a rejected credit card after 7 weeks, and that it never left the warehouse? Until now?

Of course it's a return! The $64,000 question is why anyone would return something like this to the Mint when they could easily make a few hundred dollars, at least, flipping it. Either they didn't know what they were doing (possible), or there is something wrong with it (more likely, but not guaranteed).

This is why, unless they suddenly release the missing 7500, I wouldn't mess around with these at 7:30 a.m., at $3600, expecting something I'd be happy with to become available out of nowhere after all this time.

There are other reasons for return ranging from bad addresses to refusal to be available for delivery when a signature is required. People sometimes also have buyer's remorse and don't know how to flip it.

The Mint does inspect returns before putting them back up for sale.

I listened to you all and bought a Washington Quarter with a CAC sticker as recommended. Fun thing is I wanted to practice a snipe bid on my I Phone so I saw this Lincoln Cent with a reserve of $5 so I said why not can’t go wrong if I win it around the reserve price before I bid on the quarter. Will be a gift for my newborn grandchild perhaps when they get older.

What took so long to find the right CAC quarter is for every coin in this set I required true roll fresh blazing luster look.

My highlight coin from this collection is this Lincoln Cent which I bought from Eagle Eye Coin and sent into CAC which I believe is the highest graded Omaha Bank Hoard Coin with a CAC sticker.

Posting pictures in hand. Coin looks very clean on obverse but one tick on the reverse left eagle feather. Nicest 65 I ever purchased. And contrary to Phil’s photo there is no yellow tint on the inner plastic ring.
