Dearborn Moderator United States 94671 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 09:37 am Something looks 'fishy' with this listing. Can I get a few opinions as to what might be going on here? (I do have my own on this but would like a few others) https://www.ebay.com/itm/115214987151 Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 09:47 am I don't see anything wrong with it other than the coins all seem blotchy and have haze. I think $300 maybe high.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94671 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 09:54 am you don't see what looks like tape possibly keeping the 'OGP' closed? According to PCGS, the starting price is not far off the mark. https://www.PCGS.com/prices/detail/.../most-active Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7505 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 10:03 am It's a tough year I think he can get $300+ for the set, another seller has $320 bids going on similar boxed set.https://www.ebay.com/itm/393878210937 But what is noticeable is that seller's finger prints are all over the cello wraps.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 10:06 am The OGP has been opened. I see tape on the OGP and it looks like Tape on the plastic/coin holders. That was a given, I was looking for something nefarious. I doubt anyone didn't see the tape. I was saying $300 maybe high for hazy, blotchy coins. The eye appeal reduces the value for me that is.

That was a given, Well, yes the 'OGP box was opened - I wasn't referring to that. having the box opened is ok to me. I was referring to the tape on the cello (I guess I should have notated that), my concern here is - were the coins taken out and replaced with others? I found another by a different seller with tape on the cello packages. in this sellers notes further down you can click to enlarge the pictures. Did the Mint use tape this year to secure the cello? https://www.ebay.com/itm/393878210937 Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19111 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 12:41 pm Suggest sending a message to the seller, asking about what appears to be tape on the cello. Maybe ask for a pic or two which shows all the coins together--within the packaging. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/24/2022 10:21 pm I don't believe that is tape. I believe that is actually what the original cellophanes looked like. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 01/26/2022 3:26 pm Looks fine to me, this is how they look. 1952 is a tough year for proofs, even if the coins were replaced they still have a lot of value as long as they're proofs. Here's some shots my set. My grandfather only paid $24.50 for it! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Edited by BadThad 01/26/2022 3:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
