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).
This batch of 1914 P cents look a whole lot alike. I assume you know what good condition means. These are nice solid good condition. The reverse seems less worn than the obverse. I'm not trying to say the obverse is too worn. I am saying the obverse is solid good but the reverse is better than obverse. See my grading scale below to learn what good condition means.
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.
