Stu: Morris stated he is offering a "monster PQ coin". If it is, the price may be a steal

Speaking of outrageous prices for Lincolns - I figured a bid of roughly $6,000 for a nice 1930(p) Lincoln in PCGS-MS67RD I saw at the Goldberg sale and was the underbidder on the coin. Did I bid too much?

Now, since a board member beat the nickel by $150 - I'll beat the Lincoln by more than $200 - just PM me for details


Of course, I am selling just a nice typical 1954(p) Lincoln in MS66RD, not a "monster" - big difference. I wish I could see Morris' coin in person.

Hmmm.....a nearly every one of the cents in the roll of gem 1954-P cents that Wayne Herndon sold me back in 1999 look better than that MS-66 red cent that is for sale.

Busting up that roll is not my style. But I wonder if Wayne remembered that special roll. It wan't even that expensive back then but top dollar at the time. $45 for the roll or something like that??

$45 for the roll or something like that??

Gasp!

Oreville, you have such a nose for this stuff. I am in awe. Why do you still have a day job?

Gerry

Oreville, no disrespect intended, but many of those 1954 rolls look real good until PCGS gets hold of them! Sad, but true.

Who said you could hijack my thread. Besides my reserve is set well below your $850.

Not hijacking anyone's thread.

Didn't realize the originator of a thread had exclusive rights.

Just trying to apply a decent deal to someone.

Make me an offer on mine. I just might take it.

Gerry: I hope you are wrong. Actually lets ask Wayne Herndon if he remembers that 1954 roll?? LOL.

Dpoole: lets ask Wayne if he remembers the price I paid for the roll.

oreville,

Yes, I remember selling you the roll along with several others in late-1999. I seem to recall you coming down with a pretty bad bug around the same time. I think you were also working with CU on the collectors.com website which has since become this site.

I don't recall the actual price of the roll but I suspect your $45 quote was roughly correct. I think it was around 2X-3X CDN Bid at the time, maybe more. My recollection of the roll is that it was one of the few I'd ever seen without the typically cobwebbing.

Fortunately, I'm not the type of person to ever regret selling or my leg would be completely pretzelled from kicking myself in the rear end.

I couldn't forget this roll if I tried. Ever so often you like to remind me. I believe the last time was 6/1/02.

Robert: 1954(p) is very similar a date to 1953(p) - both immensely difficult to obtain in PCGS-MS66RD or better grades, both suffering from webbing, mushy strikes, etc., etc., etc.

Last month, I bought a multitude of fresh 1953(p) rolls of Lincolns, free of webbing and wonderful looking coins - I suspect along the same lines as your 1954 roll. I paid dearly for them competing against Angel Dees at auction, etc. (he beat me for the 1954 rolls by the way).

Anyway, despite the fantastic outward appearance, the rolls yielded very few submission coins. Yes, I slabbed (3) nice MS66RD's, of which one coin has potential to go MS67RD. Yes, I have a few more MS66RD coins in flips which I have not submitted yet - but, overall, the coins are nothing more than MS64/65 quality at best (luckily, the auction lot came with 53(d) and 53(s) rolls which do look like they will yield me some coins, including a wonderful 53(d) cent that has serious claims to the MS67RD level).

I suspect your roll would yield similar grading results to mine and would love for you, as an experiment, to submit the best coins in the for grading. Ask Wayne to screen them for you first (or you could just select the coins and send them to PCGS). My guess is, AT BEST, you yield -1- MS66RD coin. I would buy you and your daughter a Crab Feast in Baltimore at Obrykis if you graded a single MS67RD coin from the roll that you would never forget!!

This would also be very educational for the boards and demonstrate just how scarce 1950's Lincolns are in high grade. Even a gorgeous looking roll of spot-free coins often yields no high grade specimens.

In a sporting mood? Wondercoin

Nice BU 1954 rolls do seem to have increased in price quite a bit:

I'm still scratching my head on the math; I guess I need to review it a couple of more times. In the meantime, if anyone can explain it to me, please save me some pencil sharpening.

Wayne:

Take it from a mathematician, a sharp pencil will NOT help you; the seller is from Boston - he or she must be a M.I.T. or Harvard drop-out.

wayneherndon

Gerry,

Thanks for the reassurance. I was a Texas state math champion back in my high school days and went all the way through Harvard and out the other end; still, I was beginning to wonder if I'd lost my touch over the years.

The seller was on the right track...just forgot to subtract the cost of submission for 100 coins to get the proper opening bid. You pure math types always get messed up on those story problems.
