Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 09/12/2009 02:51 am I've been looking for a nice 1913 Lincoln Cent to upgrade my circulated set. This coin is surprisingly expensive in grades at or above VF. I've been outbid repeatedly on ebay auctions for this date, until now. The seller also offered a nice 1911 which would also be an upgrade for me so I bid on it as well. Maybe all the other bidders went on Labor Day vacation, but for whatever reason I won both coins. For a total cost of about $7 I think I scored. I would appreciate your grades and comments! Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/12/2009 04:48 am On the 1913 I'm going to say EF-40. Because of the wear on the obverse of the 1911 I'm going to say F-15. Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 09/12/2009 05:23 am I think you got a real nice deal for $7 bucks. I'll agree on the 1913 as EF-40. I'll give the 1911 VF-20 Two nice early coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Spiel New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 09/12/2009 11:56 am I'd say the 1913 is EF-40 and the 1911 is VF-25 to VF-30 Good buy! Report this Post to the Staff

EF45 anyway. The obverse rim ding stands out due to the size of your images; I don't think it would be bad enough to keep it from grading. A $15 coin to me. The 1911 is not as well struck but still has a shot at VF30. It has original color and no damage. I'd say VF25 for sure. Worth about $5. Good buys! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 09/12/2009 11:42 pm 1913 is EF-45/AU-50. I'd lean toward the higher grade is there's some luster under the brown. CDN puts AU @ $25 ask. 1911 is VF-25, about a $2 coin. For $7 you did VERY well. EDIT- Great job with the pictures! Lincoln Cent Lover!
