Somebody wants this coin very bad, and he has a strong bid already.
(Bid accepted, but you were outbid by a previous bidder).

Depends. What's that crap behind Lincoln's head? I don't recall seeing that in the initial images when the coin was graded.

I still find it amazing that someone who knew what they were doing bought a truly original roll of 1969-S Lincolns and found that piece. What are the odds...

Agree, I think it will go above the 1926-s price!

Probably that is what is keeping the coin in a ms64 holder

That discoloration on the obverse doesn't knock it down to an RB?

WOW thats a nice coin. I wont give up my search, thats for sure. I think $137,000+. as to the (thing) behind Lincoln's bust, who knows. I would have to see it in hand, but its still a nice piece.

That's one PRETTY penny!

Man, I love this stuff!

I sure don't know Lincolns, I just see an error on a Memorial Cent going for the same price as two new cars. I'll have to buy some bank rolls!

By the time it's done, it will be more like 4-5 new cars, perhaps...

oldcameoproofsguy

Some day I'll find one of those in change! It would definitely make my day!

I look at that thing and just dont get overly excited. OK I bid, but still. When I see the same design in my pocket change all the time, it just doesn't...
The funny part is: When I was young, I thought so many 1969-S's looked like double dies. Maybe they were, and I spend them!!!

Yea, what is that mark???

I just bid again... Outbid.

wondercoin

Whatever that is on the obverse, interesting if it might it come right off with proefessional conservation? Should be a very interesting auction.

i feel you were very lucky to get outbid, do not try again or you
might win it.

I have very little experience red copper, but IIRC the shape of the 'whatever' looks similar to the shape of the 'whatever' on the 1963PR70DCAM

wondercoin

TDN - I have not seen the coin in person. But, I have to wonder whether the "print" (or hue possibly caused by a breathe or other contaminent?) is very, very fresh - increasing the chances that it can be conserved (unlike the that 70DC cent that was a hopeless case - not to mention a Proof cent which is generally a tougher surface to work with)?

Once a few of the copper experts get a chance to actually see the coin, I would love to hear their opinions on the subject. This may be one of the few "six figure" modern coins out there today. A real prize either way.

<---Modern crap, eh ?

Just went thru a roll yesterday. Closest I got was some slight machine doubling in the "LIBE" in Liberty. But that is common right?

dbldie55

Stewart was interested in this coin. Not sure there is a Lincoln Collector on earth that compares to him.

Be sure and report back to tell us how many of these you found.

It's a nice coin but aside from the error I don't really find it that attractive. Are all of those hairlines from a cleaning or is it die polish?

Russ

<< <i>Are all of those hairlines from a cleaning or is it die polish? >>



Die polish. It's very common on Lincolns of that era.

that's the holy grail......................................NOT!

It would have been a steal at my bid.

Makes you want to go buy a few bags of 1969 S cents... Ebay

But, why so few? Did the mint catch these before they were released? I know the feds grabbed some, but I would think a few thousand might have escaped.

lasvegasteddy

amazing and i gotta ask if anyone's watching the 44-d ms62 steel wheatie too on the bowers auction...it's sitting around $90,000 too...,
Text44-d steelie

ahooka454

all i know is the 69-s is the most searched by me. i am glad someone found one. i would like the 43brass cent, the 44 steelie and 44-d steelie. what a neat set altogether. i like the 69-s but wont pay more for a cent than my cars. if i find one, thats another story...
