<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2094544, member: 17665"]I'll have to assume you bid or purchased a "made up" roll where the dealer placed one supposedly good coin on each end as teasers to get you to bid up on these. Personally I would never buy these as most of the rest of the roll consists of common coins. A Flying Eagle in good is around $25.00, a 1931S Lincoln in good around $60.00, a 3 cent nickel around $15.00. The damaged Flying Eagle you got is only good as a type coin so let's say, $7.00. You are now up to $107.00 best case scenario. Factor in the rest of the roll, grade them and see what you have. You may have broken even if all the coins grade out well. If not then you may have overpaid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
