WHEN WILL A LINCOLN CENT (regular issue) BREAK THE 100K BARRIER

STEWARTBLAYNUMIS

I know of three record prices for a Lincoln cent that occurred at Pittsburgh

1)1909 s Lincoln Cent in PCGS ms 67 red @ $69,900

2) 1913 s in PCGS ms 66 red @ $69,000

3) 1914 s in PCGS ms 66 red @ $90,000

Maybe when you sell your set!

If that 1909-S is a pop 4, then there's probably some RD pop 1 that will break $100K.

Sell your 1919 so we can find out.

Already been broke in a private sell

I would not make the assumption that whoever has deep pockets to buy $100,000 Lincoln is going to be after a registry set. But I will assume it will NOT be a modern Lincoln to break a $100,000

Are there any deep cameo 1930s proof cents (68 or better)?

There are no DCAMs at all. Not very many cameos, either.

Maybe if someone discovers an '18-S, '21-S or a '26-S in 66RD.

If a 1930s DCAM is discovered, I would think it would break $100,000 easy.

I"m with Russ on this one: Your 1919 in MS-69 is the finest known early Lincoln. I thought I had heard rumors that you had an offer for it at $100,000 but turned it down.

As soon as some rich fool gives me 100k for each of the pennies in my pocket.

When someone is dumb enough to pay that much.

WaterSport

I bet the $100,000 pay out will happen when Lincoln Cent gets closer to its 100th annivesary in 2009 or shortly after whatever is planned for the cent is made public.

A modern Lincoln cent better not pass $100,000. In fact they shouldn't even pass the $1,000 barrier unless they're an error, Im not a big fan of condition rare modern coins.

I was thinking the same thing.

Fan or not, some of the later date Lincolns are extremely difficult to find even in nice condition much
less superb gem. While there are dozens or hundreds of collections of the older coins in high grade
there are a mere handfull of the later date coins. There is a lot of potential demand and almost no
supply.

Time will tell.

I believe in 2009 one will reach the 100K mark.

nwcs

That MS69 of yours would probably break it now, don't you think?

coynclecter

1909S MS67RD was 69K, I almost bought a 66RD for 2500 hoping it would upgrade. Glad I didn't waste my money on that moonshot.


It would not surprise me if one already had. The next question is....Which one.

jcping

The 1963 PR70DCAM had a shoot but PCGS stopped the show

bestclser1

I hope when someone buys my 1955 double die PCGS MS65RD in an old holder.I have been told that it is nicer than the one that sold at Long Beach in 2001 for $59,000 and change!

lloydmincy

Bestclser1: I have one too. That's not a regular issue.

Stewart: Who sold the 1913-s and 1914-s??? Is there TWO MS66RD 1914-s's or is the stolen one still missing??? Were they sold auction, or privately??? A lot of these early red high grade lincolns are going into strong hands. May not see a wave of these for sale for some time... I think.

TAP444: You couldn't tell us the coin, could you?????

JRocco

I agree with Russ 100%. That 19 is THE NICEST Lincoln I have ever seen. In the right market, that coin will go thru 100K.

Ummm, I believe Stewart's inquiry was regarding a "REGULAR issue"

bestclser1

Sorry ,Guess the 100,000 got me excited!

jacktheknife

If I have my rumors straight, I believe the regular issue Lincoln that has already broken the barrier is the 26-S in 65RD.
Stewart clearly has several coins that, at the right venue, could bring well north of 100K at auction.

Stewart also raises another good question and that is how many more whales are going to jump into the pool. It seems that every couple of months another heavy hitter comes out of the woodwork and drives prices even higher!

TAP444

Jack is correct , the 26s in 65rd pop1 is the coin
Tim

The interesting thing is that I do not believe the 26-S has been entered on the registry in any set. That's more evidence that there are others out there lurking. The only other possibility is that Gerry owns it, but for some reason I don't think that is the case. Andy has helped Gerry build a large part of his collection and I don't think Andy had part in the 26-S sale.
