Heritage auction highlights...Lincoln RDs on fire! Read what's dead....

1915-s MS65 1c RD would you believe 9,500 + 15% juice!!! Bidding on that lot was intensive!

1924-d MS65 1c Rd ====> $6,600 +15%

1925-d ms65 rd ===> $3,200

1930-d MS66 rd ====> $5,250 + 15%

1950 PR66 DC $9,750 + 15%!!!!

Then the last straw for me was a 1995-s PR70 DC $2,200 + 15% !!!! Hello?

Anything RD and ms65 + or Pop top or low pop was moving and bid very high.


DEAD - GRAVEYARD
=============

3c Nickels
Shield 5c
Liberty 5c
Half Dimes

unless they were MS66+ or had super toning

I strongly recommend not bidding via internet, you have little chance against the floor. Phone bidding puts you on even par but they say you need to be bidding on $5k+ coins. I saw some less than that so you may want to ask. Internet bidders were snipped left and right although some internet bidders bid super high and there were no competing bids but they over paid.

A most interesting evening!

  • An attractive 1924-D in red is really hard to find. I can only think of two 64RDs I've seen in the past year (one of which was butt-ugly) and one 63RD (which was even uglier). Doesn't surprise me that it went for that much.
  • Some of the lincoln cents from the 1920's in NGC MS-65Rd had an estimate of $1-2, yet sold for hundreds. Shouldn't the estimate be higher?

  • I picked up a coin in Heritages last e-bay auction didn't like paying 5% more but I still sold it on e-bay for $122 more than I paid, it can work.

    That 1930-D in MS66RD is going to be a pop-1 MS67RD someday...not sure about the other coins but that was an incredible Lincoln.
