Description: The coin you will receive will look different than the one in the pictures. The pictures are to represent the coin you will receive. The coin in the pictures grades the same as you will receive. No two coins are exactly the same but your coin will grade as advertised (please see the grading scale below). I can buy pennies in bulk for a better price and then pass the savings to you. It is not practical to list each coin individually. Plus eBay thinks multiple listings for the same coin would be spamming eBay. Therefore, picturing one coin to represent the quantity is the way to go. I sell coins by grade so you can be sure of getting a quality coin. You can be sure of receiving a coin that grades as in the listing. See below for a grading guide. Going by the guide to grade coins is my ultimate aim. This Wheat Cent Copper Penny is made of 95% Copper, 5% TiN, and Zinc, and features a beautiful red color. The strike type is Business, and the fineness is 0.95. The Lincoln Wheat Cent is an ungraded coin and circulated. It was minted in San Francisco, Denver, or Philadelphia, United States. This coin is a great addition to any collection and a must-have for coin enthusiasts. General Coin Grading As I inspect a coin I check its grade but I always ask myself if I would want it in my own collection. Each collector knows what condition coins they collect and everyone is different. Coins can be attractive in BU or AG conditions or unattractive. I am very careful only to sell coins I think look satisfactory regardless of grade.Dirt and or grime is considered a normal element of old coins. Dirt does not affect the grade of a coin.No culls such as but not limited to beat up coins, bad dents, scraps, bad scratches on focal points of the coin, badly corroded, holed, harshly cleaned coins, badly stained or they just don't suit my eye. I sell no such problem coins unless the defect(s) are pointed out in the item description.If you ever get a coin that doesn't meet my description please let me know ASAP before contacting eBay. Regardless of my official policy, I'll make good on a bad coin. I inspect hundreds of coins each week. I'm human and likely will make a mistake from time to time.I can do more to correct an issue than eBay can and I'm quicker to deal with. It's in my best interest to only sell satisfactory coins and provide quality service. I don't want bad reviews and will correct negative issues as quickly as possible.
