    I believe EVERY word in this auction. Problem is most of them are misspelled.

    So he lives in Israel but ships to the U.S. only as far as I can tell. Coins just sit on his desk. Give me a break!

    Apparently he can grade coins as all of the keys are assigned grades which, IMHO, would mean he could have them slabbed and sell individually for several thousand dollars.

    I could rip this auction apart all night but have to sleep at some point.

    Thanks for sharing - I'll laugh myself to sleep!

    Lets see "No paypal", but below "paypal" is accepted. Hmm - 0 feedback. I know you might be missing a deal, but I think I would skip it.

    Now you have me going. I just asked the seller a question.

    "Hi,

    Your auction confuses me. Apparently you have some knowledge of U.S. coins as you are able to assign grades to the key dates in the Lincoln Cent series.
    If this is true you should realize that broken into several auctions you could make SEVERAL thousand dollars on this set.

    Why would you choose to just basically give the set away? Something seems out of place here.

    I look forward to a response."

    This is the type of gamble on Ebay that can really pay off. Sometimes you get burned, sometimes you hit it big. There are legitimate auctions by people who don't really understand what they have and don't have a track record to attract serious collectors. This may be a great purchase. I don't bid on Ebay anymore, but I would be inclined to take a chance on this one with a low bid if I was into Lincoln cents. It really boils down to, do you feel lucky?

    I'd gamble on it for $100.
    $300 is a touch too much.
