Ebay insanity

This cent shouldn't go for more than $50. Not only is the coin certified but the bidders are certifiable

1979 proof cent

But this one has "rubby red color!"

NOW don't you want it?

It's wierd... I've seen other 79-S T1 go for well over $100. I need to re-look at my 70s proof sets!

I'm with you.As everyone knows I love the Lincoln Proofs,but those bidders are crazy.There isn't even a picture.

I saw that auction yesterday and was wondering about it myself, so I started researching to see if I could find historical pricing. You know what I found? The '79 Lincoln in 69DCAM comes up very, very rarely.

The T-1 is a key coin.

With a Pop of 123/9, I'm not sure if it could be considered a "key", except maybe by these bidders. The T-2 is slightly better at 130/23 in 69DCAM. Yet the CU price list shows the T-2 as worth more indicating it is more of a "key" than the T-1?

If it makes any difference, the 1979's are the lowest Pops of the post 1978 Lincoln proofs save for the 1981-S T-2 with a Pop pf 59/0.

Even the numbers negate the logic in these bids. Dave

The pop is 123/9 but the Lincoln series has always beem popular. Anyone know the type 2 pop?

And the small dates and type 2's are not included in the registry sets???
Because they're not included in the sets are there prices lower?

Here are 3 other recent auctions and two are confusing.
I wonder what's arriving in their mail boxes?
Also two were bought by the same guy at big bucks.

The ruby red superlative wins out on them $180 proofs.

Maybe I'm collecting the wrong series???
