<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rsand, post: 1584703, member: 40749&quot;]Hi all - I am a newbie at coin collecting. I was given some SMS sets by my granddad when I was a kid, and after letting them sit in a box for ages, I showed them to my 6 yr old son, who is now hooked on coins. And I&#039;ll admit I&#039;m having a lot of fun with it! I also had in my collection a 1908-S with a red lustrous finish and a 1909-VDB (not S, sadly) graded VF. I realize now that especially the 1908-S is quite a coin - I had no idea! I decided on one project, I want to collect a set of Indian Head cents that have a beautiful red luster. I know this will be an expensive proposition and its going to take a long time to complete (my wife doesn&#039;t understand...).</p><p><br /></p><p>So I started my undertaking on eBay. I bought an 1891 and an 1897, and then recently bought a 1904 and 1906-1908 from the same seller - those four are really amazing looking, especially the 1904. I got what I think was a good deal. Now... I&#039;m worried if I got too good a deal. Maybe the coins have been cleaned (or even worse - fake?? Can&#039;t be...). </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve attached some pictures of the 1904 here, and shared a link to the lot here: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s47o6t7898f3tez/8-vajTttMQ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s47o6t7898f3tez/8-vajTttMQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s47o6t7898f3tez/8-vajTttMQ</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d really appreciate any advice - are these good coins, or did I make a rookie mistake and get taken?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks all!</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard (dad) and Brian (son)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=CONFIG]219858[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219859[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219860[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219861[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
