True. Made me feel better about my library, with maybe hope that when mine sells there will still be value in them.
Yeah, I bid on I believe 14 book lots and won one. Silly bidding in many cases. One was for a book CNG sells, and the bid price for a used one...
And that is probably the greatest point to be made, especially for newer collectors. A dealer long ago told me, (nice man, already way past...
Let's talk about off metal strikes though. If you are talking about a metal not used in the mint, then I would claim that piece is also illegal....
Because most likely they, and their steel 1944 cents, were errors on the mint's part, and sold to the Fed in bags. Title would have passed due to...

He said HE bought it for $14, but he sold it on Ebay for $56. He also says he sees others not even selling for $25 at times, and it wondering if...
Definitely worn, definitely cleaned IMHO. That color is typical of cleaned large cents. I have seen tons over the years. Be careful to not "blame"...
