Lincoln people, does the reserve on this auction seem awfully low to you?

    Not for low grade common date wheat cent's.
  • I agree, AG to AU probably being overcharged. No real semi-key dates either.

    If, as the seller states, the winning bidder must pay actual Priority Mail costs, that's another $12-20 or so, I believe.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I'll be damned, Danglen, you're right! You have excellent powers of observation.image I wonder if that was deliberate?

  • Russ,
    I don't know if it was deliberate, but I'll trade you a nut for a jar of tuna.

  • I agree with the previous comments. These coins just don't bring much in these conditions. I am an avid Lincoln collector and I just look right by these type Lincolns. If they are not red or red brown most Lincoln collector don't give them a second look. Bear in mind we're not talking DDO's etc SVDB, 14 D, etc. type coins. It seems unfortunate but most of us Lincoln collectors are looking more for the color than the coin!

    Does anybody care that the seller has (0) feedback?

  • Don, I did see that, but who's interested? However if these were BU coins there would be some serious thought.
