<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stephan77, post: 2160024, member: 74244&quot;]I had a chance to buy the nicest set of 1909 to around the 1970&#039;s Lincoln cents I had ever seen up to that time, around 30 years ago. Most were in AU to UNC type condition, minus the S VDB and a few other keys, but just beautiful. A neighbor had it, offered it to me, and I told him to take it to some coin dealers, get the best offer, and I would match the best offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>In hindsight I should have said &quot;increase the offer by 10%&quot; or something such as that. He sold the set for $300 to one of the dealers and it was easily worth much more than that. I basically thought he implied (promised?) that he would sell it to me! Oh well, he took the cash in hand offered by the dealer, and I learned from that, when seeing an opportunity, GRAB IT, and don&#039;t let it slip away.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still think about that beautiful set every now and then. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie15" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
