Description: spent a lot of time (before becoming married with children) advertising locally to buy coins and coin collections. I would meet people and purchase their entire collections, including gold and silver coins, tokens, cents and yes Lincoln cents. for me this was fun to get out and meet people this way, and I also looked at this as a long term investment. In the course of doing this I would rough-sort the purchases by denomination and type, and so I've ended up with a large pile of Lincoln memorial cents in 2x2 cardboard and plastic holders. the theory was someday I would have time to go through these, but time and interests have moved in other directions. it's come time to reverse the flow and sell off my coin collection (married with children ...), so I was looking at other ebay auctions to get ideas of how to sell these Lincoln memorial cents. Usually folks would put their better coins in the holders, and since this is a collection assembled from scores of other collections, there's a lot of variety in the coins - circulated and uncirculated, and some coins labeled as varieties or errors, etc. I've counted them out into batches of 100+, and have tried to make each batch a random cross-section of what I've accumulated over the years. so what you get in each batch of 100+:mostly copper cents - pre-1982. there are some newer ones but these cents are mostly from 1959 - 1980.about 40 cents from each batch are from 1959 - 1969.a good variety of dates and mint marks for Memorial centsa lot of red uncirculated cents.in general, folks would put their better coins into holders like this. that is probably why there are more of the earlier dates in these batches. if my count is correct each batch should have 100 coins in it. but I may have gotten mixed up while sorting them into batches (and a couple holders had two coins in them - bonus! - so I'm just saying there are more than 100 coins in each. total of 7 lots available when I started this, three have sold so far so there are four left. I'm donating 100% of the proceeds from this auction to the American Red Cross. They do good things for us all the time, and in particular there are a lot of people in Florida and other southern states who could use their help. so you get some nice coins for yourself, or as a gift to get someone started in coin collecting, and all the money goes to a good cause. I will combine shipping if you order multiple batches from this auction or buy anything from my other auctions at the same time (once I get them posted). the photographs show:view of all of the coins after being sorted. each row of coins represents one batch (100-ish coins)view of all of the coins in one batch, so you can get some idea of the variety of coins and conditions that are present. this is the main photo for the auction
