Thanks to the booming economy, I was forced to sell some error's to a new buyer here in town. I sold my 94' DDR for $250 and the Off Center strike for $50. Also, a box of about thirty MS 1970-73 for $100. I feel good about all but the off center (even though it went to a good home) How poor is my score?

Safe to assume you're talking Lincoln's? If so, '94 DDR which one and what grade? Off-center %? Sorry, didn't mean to answer a question with questions.

its also according to who deemed these coins this variety. If it was some that no one elkse could authenticate then you ripped someone off, if it was the real deal then since I don't know the the value of errors someone else will have to tell you that answer

Or at least clarification of what type of coins!
I think it's funny this thread is getting so much attention with so little to go on. I post pics, questions, etc and can't seem to get a reply sometimes!

these have all been posted here with picts. pillars of this community and a local expert have concluded they were all the real deal. And the picts are in my preveious posts. Id put them all up again, but with the problems I've been having with doing anything on the net, I'm lucky to be here as we speak. One was a 94' DDR-003, the off center strike was approx. 20% S/SW, both in high AU to MS. The rest were all the same grade as the above.

jasper62, that sounds like a multiple personality response. Could you give a different response to clarify?

Soooooo.....Are we talking Lincolns? I have yet to see that clarified. Did you sell these on ebay or to a local collector? IF we're talking Lincolns AND IF you sold them on ebay THEN I think you were fortunate to have a few people that wanted those coins REALLY bad A) I wouldn't have come close to bidding $250 on the DDR B) the 20% would have to be something really special for $50 (still don't know what year we're talking about) Otherwise, IF we're talking Lincolns AND IF you sold them to a local collector EITHER A) they may have been a newbie collector OR B) they wanted those coins REALLY bad These are just my opinions, I know I would rather wait and find my own DDR before I'd spend $250 on one. I don't think it's that special of a DDR. I'd rather spend $250 on a key or semi-key. As far as the %20 off-center, again it would have to be really special like a low mintage date or mintmark or at least a semi-key. As far as the $100 for the 70-73's, I MAY have given you around $3 each for any that I needed for my collection, but probably not for 30 of them. Again, just my opinion, but I think you made out like a bandit, especially on the off-center that you don't feel good about, IF we're talking Lincolns. If we're talking another coin(s), new rules would apply. Maybe I'm off base here, I'd like to know if any other Lincoln collectors would have paid those prices.

I am not a lincoln collector nor a error collector so I wouldn't have paid that much for them. But I would say you did very well on the sell from what I have seen others of the same sell for if thats what you are asking

joe: you seem to assume that everyone here reads your posts, and should know what you are refering to. I actually have seen some of the previous posts you refer to, but not all, and quite frankly - I am not interested enough to sift through your previous posts - to find out the rest of what you are talking about. not to mention that newer people here might be interested in your questions. you might treat each post as a stand alone comment or question. to assume that everyone here knows what you have posted previously - seems a bit arrogant.

IF that is the coin, you should feel bad about $50! MINT_MARQ told you about $15, and I he think he was very generous given it's condition. I'm with dbrablec on this one, I didn't want to have to search through posts either, only to be lstill left wondering if these were the coins in question.
