There's no guarantee that there's more than 2 1909's in that roll. He already stated that. The mere fact that it SAYS "All 1909" on there doesn't mean anything. Oh man... Someone is going to get screwed.   02-27-2008, 03:41 AM   #6 (permalink) Arizona Jack The Lincoln-ator     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dry Heat USA Posts: 6,754 My Mood: Hey, with a bag of wheats and a roll of VDB's, we can all be freakin millionaires.

Turns out that one end was showing a 'S' mintmark - therefore it had to be either a 1908-S or a 1909-S. This one, he got it at a storage unit auction. Guy sure is one lucky dude!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=190198282085 __________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't know what I want, but I know how to get it   02-27-2008, 06:23 PM   #10 (permalink) djbuna Member   Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 94 My Mood: I have had a storage facility (206 units) for 7 years, opened a few hundred for non-payment and the only coins I have found are circulated state quarters in a cardboard holder. lol Gee, maybe I just ain't "lucky".   02-27-2008, 04:14 AM   #11 (permalink) topcover Change 'Ho     Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 173 I watched the auction down to the last second. With just five clicks left it was at $1126 then with 1 second left, it was sniped for a closing price of... ready for this.... $1200 for a roll of lincolns.

Posts: 5,748 Wanted to get an early start today but always gotta check CT. It's 4:30 and I suddenly feel like throwing up. If I had the finances I'd buy every one of his rolls just to return them unopened. __________________ A closed mind is no mind at all...   02-27-2008, 06:58 AM   #13 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,668 That description is really funny! an original machine wraped roll and it says all 1909's? How could he know, unless he opened the roll? __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208   02-27-2008, 06:28 PM   #14 (permalink) Jim M Numismatist     Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: In A House Posts: 2,607 Maybe its really an optical illusion and the Obv is the 1909S and the reverse is a VDB.. : ) Alot of nothing inbetween? I can't believe anyone would fall for the story after reading his/her other auctions. Should be a law against this. __________________ WINS, ANA, MSNS, HVNS "Never Argue with an Idiot.
