<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Doug21, post: 1248283, member: 5650&quot;]I think just an SVDB walking in the door is suspicious.

Is this coin stolen would be my first thought when the seller knows nothing about it....I&#039;m already sure it is real for argument&#039;s sake.</p><p><br /></p><p>How does a person have just this one rare item ?</p><p><br /></p><p>If it was a 60 minutes type of journalism thing, then perhaps put together a realistic looking set of&nbsp; circulated Lincolns in a Dansco album maybe the wheats only and complete with all the keys and maybe BU from 1941 and up....a realistic set a collector might assemble.</p><p><br /></p><p>Send in the 80 year old widow and see what happens. The coins are 100% legit say lent for the occasion by another dealer. This set is easily worth a few thousand minimum</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think a dealer should ask the widow how much she wants for it, he should instead make an offer after looking at 09-s, 09 svdb, 14-d, 22-p, 31-s 55 ddo, etc. Look at those 6 close and you should be able to calculate an offer in under 10 minutes pretty much ignoring the rest of the set.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can&#039;t ethically ask Granny to name a price and steal it if she says $100.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
