    I have bags for sale.

    I double the 50 dollar price, and you pay shipping. These are unsearched bags, and the special Lincoln post is where I show some of them, not including pre-1959. One penny in these bags covers the costs. These bags are filled with sweet cents.

      Are you talking original mint bags, i.e. uncirculated coins? I'm always a little leary of those posted on eBay but, if you can find local estate auctions sometimes they have these kinds of things. Also, a local coin dealer more than likely doesn't want to deal with lincoln memorial cents so if they buy a big collection you could put your name in as someone they could call if they have LMC bags come in.

          EBAY has them infrequently.

          Mine are from banks and circulated. I will, as a favor, post some from my most recent bag finds, so's you can see.... Watch the special Lincoln Post tonight. Thanks.
          Mostly, if you find a bag on EBAY the seller has a reserve, and sometimes they are also opened, which is a buzz kill. Going prices are sometimes steep, as in 1972. Bags of clads are really, really tuff to find at times. Expect lots of dough for those. Your best bet is for OBW of whatever year you need. paying strict attention to EBAY feedback. Lots of great deals out there, and a few meatheads savage the sale climate by selling OBW that is not real.
          A box of 1986 OBW is a very scarce thing. Good luck searching, take it in small steps, and you will not feel so overwhelmed. Lots of years and effort to get just one penny for sure. I sold a lot of unsearched AU/BU to a canada miss, and she was thrilled. She is on this board, ask her. So long ago, the name escapes me, I think maybe Jean, but I am not sure.

              Given what many early zincs look like, I wouldn't be surprised if this bag was half-corroded inside- all it'd take is a rather humid environment.

                They can easily be re-sewn too. You can see on that one that it has somewhat dirty bag but BRIGHT WHITE thread where it was re-sewn.This is easier then trying to make a roll look like a OBW that wasnt searhced before. Just a crock to get you to buy and find nothing!!

                      I agree, thank you Kloccwork! I checked ebay bags and most of them have discolored bags with really white strings....I don't know for sure if this is an indicator though.

                        I am almost positive. If this bag is suppose be sewn since 1984 then that string wouldnt be bright white like that. It would match the rest of the bag.
