The coins seem to check out, but I have a bad feeling about this listing. I would pass it.

Look at all the bids. Seems really high buck even with the S-VDB. What am I missing to drive the price so high? Granted the" Bay Mania " but what else?

With presently 25 bids and over two thousand dollars so far and two days left, I wonder how high this one will go? Appears a lot of people consider those all in MS grades and all are real.
For a seller saying he knows little about coins, wonder where he got those? AND NO RETURNS?

The holder has a 50's look to it to my untrained eye. Leads me to believe it MAY be the real deal.

This is something I wont take chances with if I don't have the actual coins in hand.

I actually saw one of those 1909 six coin sets many years ago. I don't remember when but I think it was in the late 1960's or early 1970's. It was at an antique shop and at the time it was priced way too high for a young teenager. Don't know who made them but it's vaguely familiar. As others have said, I'd be very suspicious to buy something like this on ebay. It's something I would want to inspect in person, especially from someone without feedback. For what it's worth, I already have three of the coins so I'm half-way there.  |

Based on the provided photo, I have no doubt that it is genuine. Based on the provided photo I think it looks more like an "artists rendition" than a photo. (This relates to the 42/1 dime) Edited by Conder101

Bjones,
If you paid with a credit card through Paypal, wouldn't the credit card be able to protect you even if Paypal had trouble getting the funds back (if the guy closed out his account or something like that)? That's why I've so far refused to link up my checking account to Paypal. When you pay out of your checking account you only have one layer of protection, with a credit card card you should have two.

1) You gotta wonder about someone who didn't even bother putting the coins in straight. 2) 0 feedback 3) You could lose over $2000, regardless of ebay assurances. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Way to risky for me. Can't even tell if the 09-S VDB is genuine or not.

I don't have enough knowledge to comment on the Lincolns, but the IHCs have me skeptical of their color. Then, when I look closer at the 09-S IHC mintmark, I don't like what I see--the diagonal stroke of the "S" seems to straddle too far right, and at an angle. And people are dropping $2K+? Good luck--and good night.   |
