? on values of ANACS net-graded key Lincoln Cents

I recently purchased a set on Lincoln Cents. I bought the set knowing that the coins had problems, but that they were authentic. I just received the coins from ANACS and was just wondering how to value the coins. Do most dealers go with the net grade, or even less? The coins and grades are:
1909-S VG details net G4
1909-S VDB scrathced Fine details net VG8
1914-D VF-20
1922 no D G4
1931-S corroded-cleaned Fine details Net VG8

Thanks for any input.

    I think that you'll be hard pressed to do any better than fetching prices that correspond to the "net" grade unless the problem is Very minor and on your 31s and 09s it might hurt it even more.

    People see that "net" grade and don't like it (from my experiences)


    I would look into NCS for future problem coins of significant value such as your SVDB.

    I am curious why you would submit the 31s, 09s??

    Nice '22! Always a tough coin (In the one and only TRUE No D form....Die2)

    Must have been a decent set.

    did you get a 1917/1917 or a 44 d/s??

    I went ahead and submitted the 31-S and the 09-S because at the show in Columbus last month, they did a 10 coin 10 days $10 each deal, and I didn't have any other coins to submit. The set didn't have the 17/17 or the 44 D/S. I kinda figured it would be tough on the values, but I bought the set at a "good" price. Thanks for your input.

    that's a good reason to submit them!
    would have cost more Not to!

    The SVDB should still do well for you, as should the 22 and 14d. Key lincs are always great to own.

    Too many people buying the so-called NO D's that are really die pairs 1 or 3. Don't be surprised if that one really takes off for you. They get pricey quick and a lot of people can't afford higher graded ones so they should be eager to bid on yours.

    Of course I'm assuming you are going to list them on ebay.

    good luck!

    Hello Randy.
    In what condition are the semi-key Phillys from 1948-1955.I would look over the 1953-p and the 1954-p.
    Are they mint state?????
    That 14-d is a good score.

    I am not planning on selling the coins at this time, I just didn't know how to value them.

    Kevin,

    The coins from 1950 up are uncirculated, but have been cleaned.image The ANACS grader that evaluated the coins asked the same question. Thanks for the reply.

    i happened to check out some of heritage's recent auctions. they had several "unc detail net ms-60 recolored" coins, & for some bizarre reason, they sold for ms-63 prices or so.

    1909-S VG details net G4will bring < g-4 money
    1909-S VDB scrathced Fine details net VG8 will bring < vg-8
    1914-D VF-20
    1922 no D G4
    1931-S corroded-cleaned Fine details Net VG8will bring much < vg-8

    for example, a 1909 svdb unc detail recolored net ms-60 would bring > ms-60 money.
