Hi everyone. It's been a while since I posted here. I need some advice. I recently obtained a sealed full NF String box of bu 2010P shield cents from a local bank. I actually wanted a box of circulated coins to search for coppers, wheats, and indians. I am selling the box on ebay for $43, buy it now for $59.95. Shipping $15. This is the first item I've ever sold on ebay. No bids so far, but it's only been up about 1 day. I'm hoping to make some $$ off this box, w/o having to return it to my bank and just deposit it. Any thoughts, ideas? Price too high/too low? What about shipping? Anyone ship full sealed boxes (USA only)?

IMO, there are too many boxes of LSC (Lincoln Shield Cents) out there, they are not rare by any means, and they are usually bought by investors/dealers. I would break the box into rolls with the quantity listed of those being available. You should be able to squeeze a little more out of your find by selling them individually.
You never know, some of the folks here in the community may want to take a few off of your hands.

I just realized that you need quite a few more posts to sell/trade.

Shipping a box of these in the US is $12.

Coin buyers on ebay are a pretty savvy bunch. You may not see any bids or watchers until two hours before the sale closes. Watch your competitors. These cents go for about $50-55. Look at the listings of the guys who get the most and try to figure out what they did to attract the bidders.
