Anybody noticed?

LincolnCentMan

I'm mainly a Lincoln Cent collector, although I dabble in rainbow toned coins. I've noticed that there are a LOT of really nice registry level cents coming onto the market within the last couple of months. Where as six months ago good material was next to impossible to find, right now, I'm seeing toughie after toughie after toughie showing up on e-bay and several of the web sites I frequent. Heck, I'm coin broke and going into coin-debt trying to buy them while they're available.

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a similar pattern in other denominations. I've thought that it might have something to do with Christmas coming up. Or perhaps it's just the strong market prices pulling them from older collections. I dont think it's because of PCGS is getting any "free’r" with their coin grading.

Everything happens in cycles, but it does seem to be most
extreme with coins, especially those we collect. Get 'em
while there available cause soon enough it will be a draught.

I deffinantly have noticed and I believe it is fueled by both Christmas and the kalvin scale market that has been set forth. I too would like to take advantage of this situation.....But, I am also experiancing the Christmas crunch...lol.

Good luck on your finds and please keep us posted on your new Lincolns,
