<p>[QUOTE="bigd, post: 80676, member: 1800"]I was actually at a coin shop and this couple came in to sell coins that their grandfarther gave them. They were told they could have anything found in the attick for the cleaning. The coin shop guy bought a gold eagle set from them for $860.00 and he did not want to touch the jar of lincolns. He went through some and said they were all junk someone had thrown together. Some were bent ,,crushed,, a 1909 vdb that was silver dipped bought I also found a 1949 double date that I would be glad to post a pix if anyone is interested. I never seen a 49 with a double date. Anyways,, I saw the guy down the street later on and asked what he wanted for the jar. he said they were not worth anything but sold to me for $5.00. Coins to me are like reading material so these were absolutely worth $5.00 just to investigate.</p><p> Anyways guys ..,,, has a novelty item crossed anyones mind. Did they make any look-a-like lincolns way back then??? this is starting to sound to good to be true so there has got to be something we are missing. thank ya'll for the input thus far but many more 2 cents would be appreciated. lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
