<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 8126282, member: 77413&quot;]I recently got an email from a large retailer who sells a lot of common and modern coins, but rarely true high-end stuff. He was having a sale on small cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have gotten some stunning coins from him for dirt cheap in the past, so I looked through my Lincoln set to see if I could upgrade any. I ended up ordering 5 wheat cents for $29.91 including shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will post the five coins, in five posts, in no particular order. First I will post the coin I had, then what I received. We&#039;ll all see how I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted to upgrade this 1949-D Lincoln because of the spots on the head. The reverse has a handful of dings all around ONE CENT.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1415214[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I received this one for my $5.56. The seller listed it as &quot;Choice BU&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1415215[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here it is in full resolution.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1415220[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1415221[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>If I am right to call this an MS66 RD, <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/united-states/cents/lincoln-cents-wheat-reverse-1909-1958/12771/1949-d-1c-ms/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/united-states/cents/lincoln-cents-wheat-reverse-1909-1958/12771/1949-d-1c-ms/" rel="nofollow">NGC gives a book value</a> of $110. I actually think MS66 is fairly conservative.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this instance I think I got a great deal. I am swapping out the old one and putting the new one in its place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
