So I offered him 50 and he said ok ! After get home I took from that old dark plastic holder and had a look with my magnyfing glass and what a disappointment ! Your opinion on value please ? My lesson = never buy a coin without look with the magynifing glasses again ! Never ! Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 03/23/2011 7:43 pm I don't think it's bad looking actually - maybe a few small scratches on the front but I kind of like the toning. Numismedia says $44 in VG-8, $48 in F-12 and $56 in VF-20. So - I don't think you did all that bad honesty. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)

coincollector123 Pillar of the Community United States 850 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 12:06 am I would have not offered 50 for it. I would have done 35 as I see some in nicer condition at antique malls for 40 Report this Post to the Staff
mshev Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 12:10 am I agree with KenKat - the subtle colors in the background sort of make up for the scratches. And it has a decent amount of detail still - enough that you can certainly appreciate the design of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 10:22 am I too think you did OK. Remember those are not being made anymore.And not even easy to find in change. Just kidding but you did OK. Quote: So I offered him 50 and he said ok And now you'll always wonder what would have happened it you said $10?
