<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman1981, post: 763561, member: 20610&quot;]Hi, folks -</p><p><br /></p><p>I just wanted to run this by and see what your thoughts are. I bought on eBay tonight a set of red bu Lincolns 1940-1958 plus a 1935, 37, and 39 in the same lot for $64.99 - which includes the price of shipping and a Whitman folder. The seller has a good, long reputation.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was a Buy It Now offer and, when deducting the cost of the shipping and folder, probably spent around $57 for the coins. At about $1 a piece I feel like the price was good (especially for some of the earlier mintmarked issues), but I am not sure.....</p><p><br /></p><p>So, for about $57 was this a good deal? I am working on a long-term project to complete a Lincoln cent Dansco album and really do not want my Lincolns after the mid-to-late 1930s to be in circulated grades for this project. Just a personal standard.... </p><p><br /></p><p>Should I have put the same $60-ish dollars into buying two or three semi-keys in problem-free Good to Fine (my minimum grade standard for pre-1934 Lincoln cents in the book? The money is spent now, but I had only two hours left in the auction and don&#039;t see 1941-1958 lots in true BU on eBay as often as I&#039;d like to see....</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your input.</p><p><br /></p><p>Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
