To answer the orginial question: I would pay exactly 1 cent for it, because I fairly certian it is one of those. Not a penny more. Those have got to be shill bids, right? I mean no one is that stupid?

I would have to say winning bid for the seller, losing bid for the buyer

I can't believe that thing went for so much! I wouldn't even consider buying one in this condition. But, to each his own I suppose.

Here's how I look at it. Let's assume it's the real thing. Then the winner has a genuine 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent. Period. There are millions of penny collectors who can't say the same thing. So I think for the winner, it was totally worth it-and at a fraction of the normal price. Who cares what it looks like--it's the real thing, and chances are it fills up the last remaining hole in the folder.
