WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 9:38 pm Just won this on the 'Bay so these are the seller's photos. Has that great woody eye appeal to it. I'll post better photos once I get it and I'm hoping it looks even better in person. Only paid $55 for this and I think I got a pretty good deal. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 10:03 pm Not trying to burst your bubble but when a seller explicitly describes a coin with, "Has Hairlines", it generally scares off serious bidders. That said it doesn't appear harshly cleaned in the images and with apparent VF details, $55 is likely a fair price. Let us know how it looks in-hand. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 10:12 pm Ah, I figured they were referring to the 'woody' look when they said hairlines. Ouch. Didn't think it was cleaned. If it is cleaned (which I'll be able to tell once I get it) it'll be the first in a while that I got duped on.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 5:15 pm VF25-30 I don't believe those are "hairlines" - just wood graining. IMO, you stole that coin for $55, I think it's $150 coin! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 7:47 pm Yep, methinks seller mis-described the coin, which was your gain. Nice woodie Report this Post to the Staff
WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 11/20/2014 2:25 pm Thanks everyone for the comments. Glad I went with my gut on this one because I'm very pleased on how it looks. Here's some quick photo I took after it arrived. Report this Post to the Staff
Rollsearcher37 Pillar of the Community United States 1295 Posts	Posted 11/20/2014 3:00 pm Very nice purchase! I think you got one heck of a deal on it! Maybe the seller truly thought the wood grain was a cleaning, and sold it at a discounted price. As for the grade, I would say around VF-30.
