Best Price on a PCGS-MS69RD Lincoln Anywhere?

wondercoin

I have some 2002(p) Lincoln Cents grading PCGS-MS69RD. The coin would make the perfect "type" coin for the hole for the Lincoln cent, or as a nice addition to a Memorial cent collection. Would anyone like one at $174.95 DELIVERED FREE ANYWHERE IN THE US? I believe this is the lowest price on a PCGS-MS69RD Lincoln Cent offered anywhere at this time that I have seen (feel free to correct me if I am wrong). Paypal is fine as well. Please PM me. While supplies last Wondercoin.

Mitch, you are wrong! I can beat your price by 1 cent.

Mark: If the "cent" discount is a 2002(p) in PCGS-MS69RD, I'm in!!

Besides, didn't you just become the cheapest seller of OHIO(p) quarters in 68 on the planet? Do you want to be the cheapest at all denominations?

And, who said modern selling isn't "cut-throat"

Mitch:

How about a 99 in MS69 RD at that price?.

Greg: I sold out of the 99(d) cents a long time ago. Sold most to board members around 18 months ago. I think I sold around 30 out of the 35 PCGS-MS69RD's at the time.

I recently sold a 99-D cent in MS69RD for $350 on ebay.

redcents

I have a 99-D in 69. If interested, make an offer.

redcents

I'm interested in the 99 in 69 at that price.

redcents

As pops steadily rise, the market is crashing on these. I got burned paying $350 for an '02 in 69 from (unnamed). It would be nice if items touted by sellers as a great deal would actually RISE in value instead of plummet. A stock broker that sells you on a dog that dives in a month or 2 is no different.

Don't forget the one that sold on the BST board recently, for less than the "Best Price Anywhere" sellers. Although none of the elitists on this board will frequent the BST board, that is where coins get listed.

Redcents: Since you just felt it was "good value" to recently pay more than $4,000.00 for a 1987(s) Lincoln Cent, I am not sure what exactly your point is concerning a coin that has gone from $174 to $134 in light of the pop rising AND FOR WHICH YOU BOUGHT ONE FOR ROUGHLY $350? Did you have a "coinbroker" working for you when you decided $300+ was good value on that Lincoln Cent? Was the dealer you bought that coin from a "crook" in your opinion? If and when the 1987(s) Lincoln Cent drops to $2000, is that ebay seller who sold you one at $4,000 also a "crook" in your opinion? And, at what point exactly do you become responsible for your own actions? Wondercoin

PS: Welcome to the boards!!

No I don't feel ANYONE is a crook that sells me something for what I am willing to pay. My only point is that it would be nice if people who were perhaps not as informed as the seller - AT THE TIME - were being touted something that would actually go up in value and NOT down. Sellers who are directly responsible for raising the pops (assumption here) and do not disclose this to the buyer share some degree of responsibility as well. My ignorance on jumping on something so new without realizing the imminent increase in the pops and concurrent decrease in value is the cost of my learning the game. No hard feelings to anyone I've bought ANYTHING from. Profit is the goal but the degree of information disemination is a choice - and some can choose to diseminate more than others.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WELCOME MESSAGE

Believe me, DATENTYPE is on my "hit list" (only kidding Mark)

Well I was more than willing to pay wondercoin for the cream of the crop of his MS-69 2002 cent and will never regret it even as the price drops. It was for my type set and that is why I bought it. It is not as if I bought a roll of these for investment!!!!!!!!!!!!! What goes down, goes up and back down.

I do not think wondercoin ran into many collectors like myself who paid MORE than wondercoin asked for his coin.

Redcents: It is possible that for the $350 you paid that you might have gotten a top end coin even for the MS-69 grade. Do not discount that possibilty. Even in 69, if the coin has that special look it will always hold its value a little better than the run of the mill coin.

wondercoin

Oreville: The way you approach coin collecting is admirable. Selecting the "cream" coin, even if it means paying a premium is a process I can relate to and appreciate. I did take the time to handpick you a special 2002(p) Lincoln cent in MS69RD, which was really a wonderful coin. It will fit in nicely with your special type set. Wondercoin

While this coin must be rare based on how many the author of this thread has available, the best price was still the one offered on the BST forum.

wondercoin

Just a couple points of clarification:

1. On 4/1/03 when this offer was posted, I believe my price was the very best. I still believe that. What happened after that (including roughly 30 more coins being graded by others) I have no control over). What happens on the BST board after 4/1/03 is also "after the fact".

2. As I mentioned earlier, it was not I who slabbed a load of these coins and roughly doubled the pop nearly overnight. I also have no control of what others do out there.

So, we have witnessed a $179 Lincoln drop to roughly $132 this month. On another thread, we saw a $14 Ike return mega-thousands to the collector who slabbed it. The modern coin market is an interesting market Wondercoin

In this modern age with computers and grading services it becomes apparent much
earlier which new coins are common in high grade and which are not. I used to figure
four years of legwork just to get an idea. The coins still have a tendency to "bunch up"
and one has to get a pretty wide sample before knowing how many might exist in top
grade. Even today, however, there are not lots of people out looking for moderns and
among those who are relatively few are likely to spend a lot of time with very recent coins.
Also today with the greater interest in recent date coins a much larger percentage of cur-
rent coin will be checked before being put into circulation. Couple all this with the quality
improvements made by the mint recently and it's not surprising that any recent issue pop
might be even less stable than other moderns. This is not so much to say collect the coin
not the pop so much as to say do your homework and be prepared for either pleasant or
unpleasant surprises.

Welcome to the boards Redcents, and best wishes.
