1909 S And Others — Lincoln Cent Collection

There is no way to evaluate that collection from the photos you provided . Some better dates and mints are missing . From what I see there is no way I would pay $300 for it .

My somewhat uninformed opinion is that $300 is a little too high for the set presented.

@CAM: I saw so many like this for sell. In your case all BN, and very much circulate. Missing a lot of good ones. The 09-S you put was clean in acid and the acid made his finger print. Me I will stay away from. For 300 you can have better.

The 1909-S reverse looks to have a rim dent near E Pluribus, which could halve its value. As the only key date clearly present, I'd say $300 is too much. If the 1914-D is present and undamaged, then $300 is still high, just not as overpriced.

Hard to judge, seems some holes are empty with the coin on the next page showing through. LOL

That said, you have to assume all the coins are only G. It's a decent starter set, the 09S didn't look too bad. The price might be a little high but someone starting out could get a quick jump on the series in one, quick swoop.

Yeah, that 300 seems a tad too highly priced perhaps... That 09-S looks to be a VFish in grade which is nice (not too convinced that the rim dent would really affect the eye appeal) although details seem a tad weak on the obverse. Probably $250.00 or a little less would be nicer, but one would have to grade every Wheat cent individually and look at the average retail value all added up and go from there. I see several higher grade coins in there which is also nice. You could also have a few interesting varieties in this set; and some of those could add value.

Thanks, KenKat, I see that now. Guessing the set is worth much less than $300.
