Wow, $35 - $45? I totally underestimated the value of these coins. I paid $1.00 each for them last week. I got 100 IHPs for $70 plus $4 shipping. It was based on a price of $1.00 each for 50 circulated and $.40 each for 50 culls. These weren't even close to the best coins in the bunch!
I was planning on using one of these pennies plus about 10 other halfway decent IHPs as the eye candy in a lot of 88 primarily G, AG, and cull IHPs. I was going to ask $100 plus shipping for all 88, but if that one coin is worth $40 alone, maybe I should hold it back when I sell.

> In most MS grades they both would be around $30 to $45
That's for uncirculated. Yours are worth about what you paid.

Oh, ok. I figured they were worth about $2 - $3. Got my hopes up for a second there! LOL

I'd keep them both if you could.

Keep the one on the left, more feather details and some ribbons show. I think the one on the right has been cleaned. Still they are worth maybe $3-4 each because Liberty is showing. I think the price you pd was pretty good. I have a hard time getting bulk lots of decent grade IHC for under $1 each. 74 cents each is pretty good, as long as the culls are not major dogs. |

From the 100 coins that I bought, I filled 1880 - 1909 with just 6 holes (1882, 1885, 1886, 1894, 1908-S, and 1909-S. 14 of the coins I kept have full liberty. I kept an additional 4 IHPs from the bunch because they had gorgeous toning and full or partial liberty. Of the ones that I dont' plan to keep, the one posted above is the best of the bunch. There are a few others with full liberty, but not quite as nice. Some have partial liberty and a lot are worn. There are a few really yucky culls, but most of the culls are still clean enough to examine. I'm new to collecting and don't want to become a hoarder, so I'm working on just keeping one book.
I came very close to starting toned-only Lincoln books because I have a lot of pretty ones, but I think I'm going to just sell all of those too. That would become way too expensive, because I'd always want to upgrade.

Both. I'd keep both, but if I had to pick one I would pick the left one because it has more detail.

Thanks everyone. I kept the left. It would be too easy to become a hoarder and keep everything, so I'm not gonna start that.

I was going to say put one in the 7070 and one in the IHC album. I like the rim on the right but I don't think you could make a bad choice on those two. |
