I am seriously considering bidding on this PF70 DCAM Lincoln set, but the bidding is so low that I am wary of something that I might not be seeing. All 4 coins should cost around $400, but it has been listed for 10 days and bidding is only at $50. Am I missing something? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-S-Linc...em2a21dd4160 |

Probably just not getting a lot of attention because its ICG. But I've also seen listings sit real low till the last 30 seconds or so when everyones trying to snipe it

Because ICG - although a reputable firm - is considered subpar in their choice of the "70" designation. Not to mention, these were pulled from an 18-piece "set" offered on HSN (note the labels). Anytime the term "HSN" comes up regarding coins, I immediately go into  mode. I doubt PCGS would call these 70's. |

How much should I snipe? Why not just buy pcgs / ngc pf69s? They are probably of the same quality and you may be able to buy them at a cheaper price. |

I don't see HSN. Is it the flags that give away the HSN?

Could these actually be PF70 since they are first day issue? |

I recall reading that proofs coming out on the first day are almost always PF70. Was I misinformed?

Yes! This is 100% incorrect. It does not matter when the coin was produced.

The total cost for 4 pf69s would be around $70. I ended up not bidding but now wish that I would have tried a $55 bid. I might have won.  |

Are there any NGC or PCGS slabs that say "first day issue" with a grade of pf69?

More than likely they did do it at the time some some should be out there
