<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1669011, member: 36230"]Don't put a lot of weight into feedback. Remember that an ignorant buyer can leave great FB even for a bad buy, and some of the biggest dreck dealers on ebay have excellent ratings. While there is nothing wrong with taking FB into consideration, I feel it would probably be best for you to focus more the coin itself and how the seller presents themselves (are they professional, are there red flags, etc, etc) than worry about ratings. Contrary to what many here will say, I see nothing wrong with sellers who do not have large sales numbers. Everyone had to start somewhere, and just because someone is not slanging dreck left and right, this does not make them questionable. Just take your time and learn about the coins you are buying. None are rare or even scarce, so you should be in no rush to buy; in the long run you will be happier with your collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just quickly scanned through the links; below are my initial impressions.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>45-D 10C: far from Ch UNC.

Similar coins can often be had in dealer bins/bowls for $0.50-$1.00. 43-P 1C: You could have done better for the cost. 37 10C: Did you notice that the listing shows a 1927? 39-D 10C: Poor images. 43-D 10C: Melt material.
