I've gotten some of my very best coins raw on eBay with somewhat unclear pics. I know others that have hit the jackpot this way as well. Some risk is involved, sure, but there are red flags to look for and ways to protect your payment if no flags are present.

 

The 1922-Ds are always winners in my book. See if you can find the 1932 "plain." A lot of collectors don't realize it but it's the all-time lowest Philadelphia mint Lincoln cent.

 

From what I see in the photo the dates look correct (size and spacing), however the quality of the photo does not show the coin clearly enough to make a determination of cleaning or counterfeiting. Also, there is no photo of the reverse. Based upon this, no bid IMO.

 

I just recently bought a 1931-S wheat off of ebay for $60 with not very good photos and when I got it in the mail and inspected it I found that it had definitely been improperly cleaned very recently and had some surface scratches that took the value down to less than it was listed for which means I overpaid for it for the condition it was in... Uncertified off ebay is definitely a risk but its one that has paid off many times before, in my case at least.

 

I have found most bargain coins are offered by new eBay'ers who are selling Dad's or Grandpa's collection. Look for sellers with few sales (minimal feedback).

 

Buy a Red Book, and read the section.

Not all early Lincolns are worth a lot of money

 

I will do that. Thank you!

 

I'v got one, and refer to it quite a bit. Thanks.

 

It is a lot of fun! Thank you.
