So I happened across a seller on ebay and it appears they are a pawn shop according to their auction.

That being said it seems like every coin they have listed is a key date albeit well worn.

I suppose if they are a pawn shop (or even a coin dealer) they would cherry pick the key dates and sell the rest for junk silver.

So what does everyone think of these?

The 16-D is so, so. The 09-S harshly cleaned. 28 Peace dollar cleaned. 14-D nice but some stains in the field. Only one I really like is the 21 dime.

Would I take a chance with this Seller? Probably. I've done a lot more stupid stuff that cost me more money than what any of these coins might bring.

None of them scream "fake" but several need authentication. Listing titles with "Denver" instead of "D" might hurt their bids.

Believe they have all been cleaned....the 21 Merc might be the exception.

All would need certification, except the Peace dollar. 14 D, might not have been cleaned - just might be the lighting for the pictures. Does it have the dirty mottled appearance in hand? Nice XF 14 D though.

Even though the 09-S VDB looks cleaned, I'd still love to have it to fill that hole in my Lincoln album.

I agree these coins would do better, if they were certified in a good holder.

From just the pictures nothing is jumping out as fake.

I have been seeing more fake 1928 Peace dollars lately.
To me they are easier to fake than other coins, taking off
a mint mark vs putting one on.

There are three different die markers that have been identified. I would feel better having that coin in hand
to check it out, before buying.

I do like the looks of the 14D Lincoln and the 16D mercury

Pending the price, I'd like them all. But of course like everyone else, fantastic 1921 Mercury dime.
Rest in Peace

They really look pretty decent to me to be honest. The only one I don't like is the Peace. They should definitely be slabbed, but the 14-d and the mercs are especially scarce in those grade levels.

I was considering the 21 dime, but after taking a good look at the 2nd "1" in the date I fell out of love with it. It probably is "ok" but the love affair was short-lived for me.

I dropped out of the 1914d at $340.

If I did not have one, I would have went higher. But I think the person that won it
would have went higher than the $406.
Rest in Peace

The 16-d was a good price at that level. Would have gone higher with authentication, would make a G4 at least with the back rim.

Tried getting the 1909-S VDB, but it went too high for what it was. Still need to find a Christmas gift for myself!

For the money, the 16-D was a good score for the buyer!

I wouldn't call the 09S Harshly cleaned. Unless the woodgraining was confused for brush marks. It can be hard to grade a woodie. I do like it. And I agree the 16D was a good value at that price level.
