Need Grade And Comments On 1924-D Lincoln Cent.

I'll say VF-30 tops, wheat stalks a bit soft, ear disappearing. Choice problem-free example.

vf35 example I would say, I like the looks of this coin.

I'm thinking 35 as well. It has nice eye appeal.

Well Ethan , when I first saw this bad boy on e-bay it had no bidders with over 6 days left on it and a starting price of $39. Had to be just listed . As soon as I saw it I said that's the one I've been looking for for years . not mainly for condition but for strike . 24-D's are noted for weak mushy strikes . So I immediately threw a rather large bid on it and said to myself , lets see what happens . Now keep in mind I also gave this coin choice EF according to sellers photos . I'm sure most of you know what happens to a circulated coin when you excessively blow it up ( Thanks Ussid18 ) nothing like good friends to help you out !
Any way so with the more lifelike pics I just had to have this monster . One other bidder put in a small bid on the 3rd day and that's where it ended . Fearing a snipe attack at the last few seconds I raised my already high bid at the stroke of 6 seconds left . Bingo no sniping only dead silence . Then it came up on the screen that I won the bid . Long story longer ,I got it for less than half of my original bid . I will post photos when I have it in hand .

Wow that's quite the story Tony! I understand what you mean about the strike quality. Found a 1924-D in a roll about a year ago. Was G6 or so and had a pathetically weak strike. Of course wear had done a good number to it, but in general you could tell it was probably a late die strike. But big congrats to you! You got it for a spectacular price, quite surprised no one attempted to outbid you. I understand the thing with sniping. When I first started out on ebay, I screwed myself over, as I was trying to snipe. As you know, ebay has a maximum bid that you place, and if no one tries to bid, the maximum bid will remain invisible. I didn't know this and tried to snipe on the last few seconds. Lost a couple good auctions by not understanding how the system worked. So far I haven't experienced any snipers besides the ones on my own auctions that I've created.

Sorry for my rant, anyway, huge congratulations! Let us know when you have it in hand!

Hmm, can you clarify that a little more ? Is it VF or EF ?

Sorry Tony, its too small and not properly cropped. Can you take better pictures?




I'm at VF 35, even in photograde its a 1924D and looks like yours. Maybe if the photographer took better pictures I could go to XF
