[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3063712, member: 36230"]May I ask how you managed to acquire the coins? Perhaps I'm wrong, but my guess is that you pulled them from circulation. If so, ask yourself why someone would be willing to pay what would amount to a [I]very[/I] substantial premium over face for coins that they too could pull from circulation. Varieties and/or errors are one thing - even in cases when pulled from the wild not everyone can and/or is willing to search them out, plus there's no guarantee one will find a coin that interests them - but perfectly common cents that very well may be nicer than average simply do [I]not[/I] warrant any premium. The one exception would be misrepresenting them in order to burn the uninitiated, and is something I'm sure you've no desire to do.
