I understand that 2009 is a special year for Lincoln Cent collectors but come on now. Here is a guy offering to sell people 1909 VDB cents (grade unknown) for the low, low price of $125. I ask you, how do these people sleep at night?:crying: http://www.1909vdbcent.com/
"Like I said earlier, you are in luck for coming across this website. I have secured a small quantity of 1909 VDB cent coins. I assure you that these coins are 100% authentic and you can submit them to coin grading companies if you would like to have them certified. As you saw from the eBay link earlier on this page, 1909 s VDB cents are selling for astronomical amounts of money. They are selling for over $2,000. But you will not pay one tenthof that for one here today. I am selling them for just $125. Am I crazy? No, Why am I selling them for this price you ask? Simple, economic times are very hard, I have these coins on hand and know people are dying to buy them. When I obtained these coins the price for them was no where near what the price for them are now. I am passing on my wise, early investments to you at a great price. Therefore, I am going to unload all the 1909 VDB cent coins I have for just $125 each. For your trust, I am PayPal Verified" :mouth: I love how he uses the small s to describe the S VDB so hopefully the dear reader will skim over that little "inconvenient detail" and tries to imply they are somehow equal. Then he has the gull to pat himself on the back for selling them at this price because economic times are 'very hard'. I really hope he doesn't sell one. Can we nominate this thread for Dope of the Week?
Maybe we should start a thread titled "Scam of the Week". I'd vote for this guy's inclusion into the Scam Hall of Shame.
Sounds sweet, I'd like to give that a try Accordingly, as a special offer to forum members only, I'll beat this guy's offer and give you a beat up... i mean original 1909 VDB for only $100 Doesn't seem like this guy is doing anything different than the coin selling home shopping guys. Just ripping off the uninformed.
