1903 - 1959 LINCOLN WHEAT PENNY CENT

smartdriver

My brother-in-law was approach by a customer to day to buy his Lincoln wheat set to day, but I wasn't on price and the quality.
Wanted to get everyone's opinion here? How much should I pay for this? Owner is asking $175 but said he will sell for $120


Missing dates:
1909 VDB
1914 D
1922 Plain (I assume it means No D)
1924 D
1931
1931 S
1931 D

I assume the set is also missing the 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908 and 1959. I would value the set as worth at least 50 cents. Steve

What condition are the 1909 to 1929 Lincolns in? Have any pics? By the way - wheat cents were minted from 1909 to 1958.

@Steve
It maybe missing 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, this is my first time looking into pennies.
Thanks, but there's more than 100+ coins, at least worth $1, I was told those 7 key dates missing?


@1Mike1
I'm going to have to go see it personally and look at the dates. Then I'll get some photos for you. But this guy was asking for $175 for this set.

It will be missing the1903-1908 and 1959 wheat back cents because they are trying to tell you they were not made those years.

1903-1908 are indian head cents and 1959 was the first year of the lincoln memorial.


the set is already missing some semi keys.

if you are missing the key 09 S VDB and the semikeys, the only hope you have of value is the condition and that is hard to tell from the photos.

TireKicker

From those pictures there is not much there. But it is very difficult to tell without seeing the entire collection.

@MsMorrisine
Fabulous, Thank you!

@TireKicker
Hopefully I will get some photos of it later.

CuKevin

I don't see anything of much value there. Definitely not $120 in value.

ricko

Based on the information and pictures..... I would pass, especially at that price - nothing to justify it. Cheers, RickO

if the 1909 S VDB is there, its worth it.

otherwise pass

AMRC

From what I can see, the value is no where there.
