Looks like that 1926 ME penny will sell after all

AU50, $750 starting bid, and Michael Gouby (I believe) has bid on it. It's the rarest penny of the 20th century save for the 1933 and 1954.

    Quite honestly I don't think any of the TPGs could tell it is a M.E.

    I think the initials are further back at the rear base of the portrait and that is one of the diagnostics... I am still waiting to find one.

    Must've been a lucky cherrypick for somebody...
