<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3973052, member: 106826&quot;]The 1943 in the Whitman folder appears to be a plated specimen; this is incredibly common so when buying these, you have to be sure which you are spending on.&nbsp; An original UNC Steel Cent is worth more than a plated one.&nbsp; The 1957 looks to be covered in either silver paint...or mercury.&nbsp; If it&#039;s mercury, handle with care.&nbsp; The Lincoln series appears to have all the dates for the series, just not all the mints (e.g., the 1909 VDB is there, but not the 1909S VDB).&nbsp; No mystery there as most of the semikey/key LWCs are from the Denver and San Francisco mints.&nbsp; The coins you have there are common and hold the value you can assign from the Red Book.&nbsp; Note: RB values are inflated for the most part.&nbsp; For actual value, your LCS will have the gray sheets and can pinpoint a value for you.&nbsp; To be honest, if the coins aren&#039;t XF or better (for the most part), you can&#039;t expect but a few cents over face value (the most valuable will be the 1909&#039;s and the teens and 20&#039;s).&nbsp; Slabbed coins can be looked up at a number of locations on-line, but for the common stuff, try searching eBay for the completed (sold) specimens comparable to what you have.&nbsp; You&#039;ll see what the market is willing to pay.&nbsp; Throw out the low and the high accepted bids where practical.&nbsp; This should eliminate the desperate sellers and buyers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
