I asked her if she new what she wanted and her response was, "It is only a penny so it cant be worth more than $5 or $10." I asked her if I could come over and look at her whole collection. She let me.</p><p>The next day I met with the lady to look at the collection. Sheasked me if I wanted the Lincoln and i told her I did but I could not give her the $10 that she wanted. I told her the coin was worth more than that. I ended up giving her $275 which I thought was fair for the coin. I also got her in touch with a friend of mine who is more experienced in the rest of the collection and will not take advantage of her. Her husbands collection really had no direction so there were coins from every denomination.</p><p>The lady was so happy about the purchase and was shocked to find ot that the cent was worth that and was even more shocked that I had told her.
