<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Space 4 Rent, post: 828807, member: 22065&quot;]Welcome and it sounds like you are off to a great start on a wonderful hobby that you and your son can share for many generations.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are going to start collecting Lincoln wheat cents and turn to ebay, which can be good and bad, please keep in mind these few general rules:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 - There is no such thing as &#039;unsearched&#039; rolls ... period.</p><p><br /></p><p>2 - People generally do not go to estate sales and just stumble upon a barrel of Lincoln Cents, that they are just blindly counting into bags of 100, etc, and selling as &#039;unsearched&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>3 - Nobody found a 1909 S VDB in an &#039;unsearched&#039; roll that the seller sold last week / month, it doesn&#039;t matter what his pitch is. </p><p><br /></p><p>4 - Most common year average circulated Lincoln wheat cents generally sell for about .02 -.04 cents apiece on the open market (off ebay). Keys and semi-keys can go for much more, up to thousands of dollars for some. </p><p><br /></p><p>5 - When in doubt see rule 1</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course there is always the exception to the rule, but those are far and few between. Best of luck, and this is definitely the place to learn so you don&#039;t get get burned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
