One of my MS66RD 1939 DDO Lincoln's will be at the Pre Long beach Heritage sale. Pop 3 at PCGS (I own all 3) and POP 2 at NGC. Any guess on what it will bring? I hope over $1000.
I see that a possible bellweather coin is being auctioned tomorrow.
The 1916-D dime in PCGS MS-67FB gets sold tomorrow. The internet bidding has already hit $85,000 plus the 15% bidders fee so it is about $30,000 below its record price achieved in the spring of 2001 when the Dominick coin was sold, also by Heritage.
It was speculated that the price of $128,800 was obtained for the Dominick coin primarily because the winning bidder thought it would upgrade to 68FB.
This is a serious coin with serious bidders. We shall see.
I made it a point to be there in person for these proof Lincolns (at Midnight). Bottom line is I believe there were (2) very serious parties who wanted all those low pop coins. That is all it takes, of course. I bought my 1866 "Lincoln Nickel" copper pattern (est. mintage of 14-15 coins) in finest known PCGS grade last night at the Bowers sale (only 19th Century US coin featuring President Lincoln) for less money than a 1979(s) cent TY 1 sold for tonight. But, I am sure the winning bidder on the 79(s) cent loves that coin as much as I love the Lincoln pattern nickel That 's what makes this hobby interesting in a sense. Wondercoin

Alrighty... which one of you hit the lottery and started crazy bidding... This is something an Enron exec would do. Sensless, going multiples of thier respective values. A few people must have an auction bug and a big arse credit card....
I sat through that auction session live, and sat with Mitch (wondercoin) and Stewart (stewartblaynumismatist) during the proof Lincoln cent section. The break at lot 5700 was to let everyone take a leak as the auction was moving slowly and the Lincoln cents were garnering some enormous bids that I had not anticipated on several lots. Oh yeah, the air conditioning was not on so it was kind of toasty.
I'm going to put some mid 50's proof Lincolns through regrade Saturday It's more exciting than playing the Lotto! (I'm spending Friday at Disney with the family).
