<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dtort, post: 4680272, member: 113973&quot;]My big score involves the classic single slightly-out-of-focus photo and the description of “BU Coins, wheat Lincolns and Jefferson nickels”. The minimum bid was $8.00 for nineteen coins. I could see that the coins were indeed red, so I figured “how bad can this be?”, bid the minimum, and wound up winning. When the coins arrived, instead of being many dates as expected, there were groups of similar coins – but all were red and appeared to be MS or Proof. They were:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; eight proof small date 1960 Lincoln cents</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; eight 1938-s Lincolns, MS quality supposed to be s/s and s/s/s</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; There was also a 1952 d/s Lincoln,( and a couple of proof Jefferson nickels).</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Sent three of these to ANACS during their summer promotion just to see if the coins were as good as they seemed. The 1960 small date is coming back as a PRF66RD. It seems that the 1938-s overpunches were a figment of the previous owner’s imagination, but is still a “regular” MS64RD. The 1952 d/s is really a d/s at MS64RD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not too shabby![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
