Hi,
A week ago I went to a yard sale and planted a seed that I was buying coins and gold/silver jewelry. I left my card with the wife.
A couple days later she calls me and says her husband has a gold ring to sell.
The appointment was today and their ring was 18 grams of 14k yellow gold. After buying the ring I asked if they had any coins to sell during the same visit.
After about three hours of evaluating jewelry and coins he presented a full roll of these MS+ 1957D Lincoln cents.
After I inspected just the two end pennies of this roll that were scratched (MD-60s) I asked him what he wanted for the entire roll if I buy the roll sight unseen.
He asked for $ 2.00 and I accepted this buying price for the entire roll of 50 MS+ 1957D cents.
Without knowing what was inside of this roll I reasoned that this price was competitive even if these coins were culls.
That's the whole story.
