[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 250881, member: 7957"]For openers, welcome Andy! You did not get any bargain, but I doubt that you got taken too badly. First of all, someone else bid $5 less than you did. On another day someone might bid $5 more than you did. Secondly, not too many people, if anyone, are interested in cents to dollars 40's (earlier?) to date. They would be interested in one series , date, or some small combination(s?) of the lot. With some luck, you could be surprised and actually make some money with a little work. As a for-instance, I just bought a lot of 4 certified coins for $41. Shipping included. 1944 Lincoln PCGS ms66 red, 1952-s Lincoln PCGS ms66 red, 1957-d Lincoln NGC ms65 red, and 1981 PCGS 69 dcam nickel. The 2 PCGS Lincolns are worth $35-$45 and the 57 is ~$3.
