just4fun Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 07/24/2007 10:40 pm A friend of mine found stashed in his basement 5 bags of 1980 Lincolns unopened/uncirculated. But the basement had gotten water in it, and 8 coins fell out. They are 1980D. Are there errors to found in these? Or should he sell them as they are? He is trying to get find out what they are worth and where he can get the most money for them. Your help on this would be great. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

If the bags are intact ,ebay would probably fetch the best price although full disclosure of the condition should be given . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff

At a coin show they would tell you to just take them home. I doubt a coin store would offer you more than a fraction over face. Report this Post to the Staff
just4fun Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 07/25/2007 2:52 pm OK I will have to check with him. From my understanding this was the first time it has ever been wet down there. But I will have to get with him and find out just what kind of shape the bags are in. Report this Post to the Staff
