$650 for 1985 penny PR70DCAM?

Would anyone consider paying $650 for a 1985 Lincoln Memorial penny? Even if it's PR70DCAM? Not me. I'd rather buy a very old half penny at that price. "ebay link"

    When just a 1 grade drop gets you a 97% discount, no way.
  • This is my Scottish Fold cat that got me started in coins. I started out with Isle of Man Gold Cat Series (Scottish Fold coin was my very first purchase). I noticed a lot of other members of this forum had cats in their sig so I added Riley to mine. I've since expanded my interests to the point that I need to go to Coin Collectors Anonymous.

    HUGE downside risk for that coin. I would be a buyer in the $150-200 range and am happy to wait for prices to fall.

    the cat is much better than the plastic 70 slabbed coin

    less problems as far as break out and losing 99% of your money and also the chance for one small spot to kill the coins resale plastic 70 slab value

    looks like the modern plastic 70 bois on there here forums seem to promote it but not bid on itimage

    putting their monry where their a$$es are so to speakimage

    oh and the cat is worth way moreimage
