Is Greysheet right on Lincolns....???

Smittys

It seems like early keys and semi keys 11-s etc are getting crazy in price....

Sheet isnt right on most things.

They had quite a run up, and I think the GS people kept running the price up on them further than the actual demand run up on them.

The closer we get to 2009, the crazier the greysheet prices on Lincolns will get.

I know I can buy 31-S Lincolns below sheet prices from multiple sources, as an example of a semi key that has run up quite a bit, at least on paper.

They're even higher at coinvaluesonline (same as Coin World's Coin Values magazine). The 1911-S just jumped from $75.00 to $85.00 in EF, while the 14-S jumped from $85.00 to $100.00. Most interesting, is the 1924-S at $40.00 in EF, up from $25.00.

i think the prices should and will continue to climb, for the real keys. the 31s i dont see moving. that hoard of 250000 full red examples, sticks out in my mind whenever i see one. with that kind of hoard, i see full red 31s as a coin that will always be there. look at the real rarities, the 09 vdb proof. the 14d in red anything, the 09 svdb and the 16 matte proof. im sure there are more, but these are the ones im after...

The gray sheet reports prices, they don't "make them up". If there are price increases, there is a buyer!

There are a few promoters of Lincoln's taking advantage of the 100 anniversary of the series, (Bicentennial of Lincoln's birth may be secondary)

Of course everyone is giddy with excitement that 2009 is the sesquicentennial of the Indian cent! A coin Lincoln actually spent!



Edited to add: of course if that buyer goes away, the "sheet" don't know anything about it! We are left with higher prices.

Not many of them and they were probably mint state. Abe wasn't around much past the Flying Eagles and I wonder if a War President was actually out spending pennies back then.
