That Lincoln cent will sit on the table nicely right next to the bottle of Macallan 50 Scotch that sold for a record $18,650 at the world’s biggest whiskey sale in Glasgow recently.
Think that is a bit decadent ... this year, Macallan has another great offering for you i.e. its 64 years old single malt that will cost you $60,000 per shot. This whiskey is being served at the Montage Beverly Hills, a lavish hotel situated in Golden Triangle near Rodeo Drive.
Repeat ... $60,000 per shot. Assuming a generous 2 oz. shot, that is roughly $720,000 for the bottle of Scotch.
The Lincoln Cent will cost you roughly a small sip of this wonderful Scotch. Which would you rather have? Frankly, I would go with the sip of the 64 year old Scotch. You?

Edited to add: How would you like to be that waiter who gets the order for (2) shots for $120,000. Even assuming a 15% tipper, that would be a nice $18,000 tip for the evening!!
Someone (some *enter phrase here*) paid $5000 for a 2010-whatever penny!!!!
Whomever bought this coin didn't look closely enough.

If he's serving a pair of Scotsmen he'll be lucky to get a fiver for serving those two wee drams.
Och, that reminds me of a joke aboot a Scotsmen, a game of golf, and his fair wife.

Better yet how do you tell the wife the check you wrote for $5K was for a 3 year old penny
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
I worked along with the state quarter guys a few years back to fix upwards of 300 Satin Finish coins that were designated as business strikes in the PCGS pop report. Since then, the state quarters have fixed the coins on a case by case basis ... I just assisted PCGS with the removal of two pop 1/0 "business strike" state quarters from the pop report recently as they were Satin Finish coins after I was notified by one the "world class" hunters in that area that the coins were being publicly offered for sale.
No doubt, one is treading on dangerous turf if one does not strongly educate himself or herself with the appearance of SF and non-SF coins dated 2005-2010 before bidding huge sums on these coins.

That's a no brainer.
I pick "neither of the above".
Leave both of them to people with more money than sense, though I find the coin at least a little less stupid.
No wonder people in the developing world hate us, huh.
Instead of that stupid $60K swallow of Scotch (I'm a lifelong teetotaller, BTW), I could pay off the mortgage on our land and buy a decent used vehicle with what was left over.

I suppose that changes things a bit.
Actually, from 2001-'06, I was a waiter in an establishment that had a $12K bottle of wine on the wine list. I don't remember them selling that one, but it was the kind of place patronized by overprivileged @$$h0£e$ like our hypothetical $60K Scotch shooters (and I believe they did have a 1939 Glenlivet in the Scotches there).
Perhaps I shouldn't show so much scorn. After all, I did owe my income (and a good deal of my coin collecting funds) to those same overprivileged ... *ahem* ... well... you know. But that didn't make them any less repulsive to me.
Hey, flashy bigshots: your money might buy you deference and all kinds of people toadying up to you, but it won't make them really admire you. In fact, they'll secretly laugh at you, if you're particularly obnoxious. (If you're super-rich but polite and still behave like a human being, then they might actually admire or like you.)
Rant over. [/RANT]
(Edit to add: of course they weren't ALL bad in that place I used to work. The nice ones compensated for the disgusting, boorish ones, or I wouldn't have spent five years there.)
Actually, I suspect most of those $60K shots of scotch and $12K bottles of wine and giant gold coins the size of a car tire are more publicity stunts than anything else, surely.
But one wonders about the $5K 2010-D zincoln. To each his own, I suppose.
Holy Crap!
I think I have a $25 mint box of these holding up my tv screen!
But lets add some beer for boilermakers.

That coin sold without being verified??
I've seen thousands upon thousands of the 2010 D Business Strike Shield cents along my screening journey. That coin clearly looks Satin Finish to my eyes. Without it in hand I can't be sure but from what I see that would be my opinion. The 2010 D Business Strike coins all look to have a nice shine to them, not a matte looking finish as this coin exhibits. Also from what I see in the pictures the obverse has what appears to be orange spots which is typical for SF coins. Business strike examples have much darker, almost black spotting. I don't think I've seen a 2010 D Business Strike coin without some amount of these black looking spots.
The most recent fix of 2 Satin Finish Quarters in a Business Strike holders was corrected. From what I understand there was a sale for one of the 2 coins. The second was pulled from eBay by the seller. He then sent both coins to PCGS for verification. Both coins were re-holdered as Satin Finish, good job PCGS and all those involved with getting this fixed (including Wondercoin). And especially the seller for doing the right thing.
Again just my opinion on the coin, If it is truly a Business Strike coin Congrats to the maker!!! If it is not I sure hope it may get corrected someday as smoothly as the SF Quarters were.
I hope the winning bidder of this lot does come forward and agrees to send the coin to PCGS for verification of its business strike status. Because if it is truly a business strike coin, as you mention, it IS a very scarce modern coin!

Only by the roll. And that method is yet infallible because mint set made coins were released into circulation once
the mandate was met on the number of mint sets.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
The business strikes, also known as circulation strikes, also known as coins made for circulation are nothing more that a lesser quality of coin struck from the same dies that were used to make the higher quality coin for Mint sets.
My advice, don't waste your money on coins that were made for circulation. The mint set coins are your better choice for quality. Same goes for coins made after 2010 because the US Mint is still using higher hammer pressure for the coins for the mint sets and lower pressure for the coins made for circulation.

if they saw that now im wondering if there none to happy about it.
Certainly wasn't one submission, that came back 67RD.

<< <i>Can this piece be a misattributed Satin Finish Coin? >>
It has happened before, with many corrected thanks to the several board members and PCGS !!!
1. Whoever called that 67 with that carbon spot on it should be forced to go back to grading school or lose their job.
2. Anyone who thinks that this coin will stay a pop 1 is nuts. Everyone with rolls and boxes of 2010-D cents will be submitting their cherries... meaning the pop report will mushroom shortly. Or at least, it should.
