bought a lot of 66 mixed year indian pennies off ebay the other day, the lady listed them buy it now for $49, I saw it within an hour of her listing it and snapped it up real quick, her pictures were horrible, but I figured I'd take a chance. The best coins are the 1869 and the 1909, plus a mix of 64 other common dates, I think $49 was a GOOD price! :hello2:

Nice buy! The 1869 alone covers the cost of your purchase. Did you check the 1909 for an "S"? If so, that coin is worth several hundred. Indian head cents are the lowest grade of "G", if "LIBERTY" is missing from the headband but you did extremely well.
 

You could take out 16 of the best coins and then re-sell the (1 roll) on ebay for same amount you paid. With nice pics of course.

Good purchase!

nope no "S" that was the first thing I checked for!........and yes I am listing the others on ebay tonight.....keeping the 1869 for my set. Only one I needed and the main reason I bought the lot
 

Score on a sweet deal. :thumbsup: Congrats.
 

just got em all listed on ebay, (except the 1869) and my pics are so much nicer than the auction I originally bought.

Many times I have bought coins from ebay, re-photgraphed them and re-listed them and made more money....lol
 

Nice buy.. I dug a 69 Injun this year. In fairly decent shape. Coin guy wanted it for 50 bones and I said maybe sometime I will sell it, but not to him for that price...It has full Liberty and just a few marks... :thumbsup: jgas
 

kept the 1869 for my set.....listed rest on ebay, just ended and already paid for........I got $57.08 for the remaining indians, so looks like I got the 1869 for free!
