Can I ask another stupid question? When Teuk said he uploaded a few coin pics.....how come there is no link to click in his message box? Is there a button to click to see coin pics from you guys?

He uploaded the photos in his photobucket album, what is not connected to this forum in any way, and posted a link to his album for us to view it. The link to the photos is in the first post.
However, you can upload pics to your posts. They are visible for every user once they're uploaded properly, there is no "turn on the pics" button.

Bout to head out to a coin shop to get more info on these things. We found a 1909 s DBW Lincoln Cent last night along with w/e other rare penny can be in a 1909-1995 but there are no DDO or w/e in it. I'll post what the guys say at the place when I get back and then ill work on getting the scanner to work. |

DO NOT SELL THEM. I love Large Cents and would hate to see this set broke up for any reason. The first 1851 and that 1857 (along with everything around 1800) will be your key coins in this set and that is what will drive the price up. These are a set that not that many people will ever see and the price just keeps going up on them because how popular copper coins have become over the last few years.
To give you an example of the price jump: about 10 years ago I bought my first two Large Cents in EF condition for $6 and $8, now those two coins are worth about $50, and that is for common coins. Your set is something special and should be preserved one way or another, please do not let the dealer talk you into selling them. If you do sell them, keep them as a set ans try to do it here first. If I had the money I would offer it right ow but with my money shortage right now there is no way to even think about it. So at the dealer, make sure they give you a written list of the coins and condition then let the forum know what they are so we can make sure they do not take advantage of you. Most dealers will not take advantage of you but there are the few and if they know you know little about them, they may try harder to do so.

That's what I meant, pick the best of every date/variety to make a very interesting set (as you have a great variety of dates), and sell off the rest here (as you have doubles).

Ya I went there with the Large Cents, Circulated Frankling Halves, Non Circulated Halves, Lincoln cents, Indian and eagle Cents, and Dollar coins.
He looked at all the others and talked about them but said he would have to look into the halve cents. I told him were not selling them we would just like you to have a look and tell us what you think.

So what did he say when you told him that you didn't want to sell them? Do you think he was trying to buy them off you for a much too low price? EDIT: You also have Indian and Flying Eagle cents? Don't tell us the 1877 is there as well  Edited by DL20K

$100? What a deal..  I can say that he offered you - 1/3 of the price.. - for G-4 coins.. - that was valid 12 years ago. In my 1996 price guide, the 1877 is $310 in G-4. And the SVDB is $350. Even then it would be much to low  |

Well,
1. there is no 1877 Flying Eagle obviously as there were made 1856-58
2. the "Buffalo head" is an interesting mix of "Buffalo" and "Indian Head" used to describe the 1913-37 nickel.
