<p>[QUOTE="SirCharlie, post: 1275985, member: 17255"]Thanks. I have to agree 100%. I've never bought from that seller before, so I really don't know anything about them. The black background is usually a red-flag. Probably has red flood-lamps on it. I'm leery of anything that looks too good to be true. Some of the sellers have made a real art out of photographing coins. They can perform wonders in a photo nowadays, and you don't find out until you actually have it in-hand. I guess they figure that most will not mess with returning it. I've seen a few sellers that have sold thousands of Lincolns, and every single one of them have the exact same color, tint, hue, or whatever....almost look like the same coin. They are not always red either. There's one seller that comes to mind that, and every Lincoln they ever sold had that same rich-chocolate color and never a scratch. </p><p> </p><p>The 1926 S has really skyrocketed in the last few years. It's even higher than the 1924 D now. There must be more and more collectors starting to collect or hoard the low-mintage Lincolns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
