chrsb Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 08/04/2007 11:59 am I always enjoy watching this guys wheats on ebay- http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-S-VDB-Linc...em_W0QQitemZ a href= https://www.coincommunity.com/go/link.asp?target=https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/200134144972 target= _blank rel= nofollow 200134144972 /a QQihZ010QQcategoryZ39456QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem He always has a couple of auctions that say-"It is recolored, with no signs of being cleaned," Is this normal? Is it an accepted way to "market" you cents? Edited by chrsb 08/04/2007 12:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/04/2007 12:05 pm Kinda depends on who did the recoloring. Seriously, though, it's appropriate to mention recoloring if it's happened, and this auction is an example of why you should read the whole auction because that little potentially-deal changing fact is kinda buried. I don't know the seller to comment, but his Feedback looks pretty good. In my opinion, the recoloring should be more prominently mentioned on such a valuable coin. Report this Post to the Staff

chrsb Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 08/04/2007 12:15 pm Well take for instance this auction-(different seller) http://cgi.ebay.com/1914-D-LINCOLN-...ER_W0QQitemZ 130139921677QQihZ003QQcategoryZ39456QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Nice looking 1914-D, then take a look at the one he bought a month ago http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...190123919124 Would this be an example of a recolored cent before and after? Notice the scratch on the reverse, and a couple other marks that I find hard to believe are coincidence. The more research I do the more hesitant I am to buy nice wheats on ebay. I am trying to BU my collection, I am down to the teens and twenties where they are getting a little more pricey. Report this Post to the Staff

That's the same coin, before and after doctoring, with a nice healthy profit thrown in. I don't think it will slab. Report this Post to the Staff
