I have beeen seeing ads from Netherlands Rare coins offering raw matte proof lincolns for cheap. In cheap i mean raw and most dates for 1909 to 1916 for $165 dollars and 1909 VDB for $350.

Do you think these would even be graded proof by PCGS and NGC? If you ordered a 1912 what do you think you would get? I might call Monday just to see but i can not call today.

    There are plenty of free lunches, go to any public school and about 30 percent do not pay.

    I just wonder what you would get if you ordered a 1916 MPL for 165 dollars?? A unc business strike? A cobbed up actual mpl? or what??

    Has anyone ever bought from this company? They must sell a lot of coins cause week in and week out they have a full page ad in Coin World. I have never read about any complaints like you here about Coast to Coast, Phil Simms and the like.

    I'm looking at their ad right now. Looks like you're out $35 ($10 S&H + $25 order cancellation fee) on all returns.

    Once the coin is removed from the holder = you bought it.

    Can you pay by credit card? What if it's significantly not as described? Realistically, don't waste your time. At these prices you'll either get a fake or a coin with problems.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Those prices are at or below CDN bid for PF-60 BN. Do you really think they are retailing real coins at those prices? Really?

    At least they make $25 on every order cancellation on the return. Interesting...suck in 100 people and at a minimum you could clear $2500; more if you actually sold one of the coins.
