    I am gun shy after over pricing the 1909 VDB.....I guess it just comes down as to who has the deepest pockets and wants it the most.

    PCGS Price guide says $20 thousand.

    Of course the PCGS MPL prices are about as out of touch as Leisure Suits, The Chrysler Cordoba and the Y2K problem.

    But if that 14 ever is downgraded....you will get your 20K.

    im going to say between 48-55 thousand, I checked out the coin and am not that impressed. Don't get me wrong but I would have figured the coin would be stunning for a 68. In my opinion the coin looks to be 67. Anyone seen this coin?

    I'm betting that it is another Heritage Numismatic Photo Injustice (TM)

    ... but I haven't seen the coin in person.

    IMHO, the one thing that will hold it back is that you know for a fact it isn't as nice as the one that Stewart kept! image

    I agree with TDN. If the other is finer then this one will probably sell for a little less (70K-80K)....

    I do think it will realize a nice sum as it is a SUPER rare top pop coin.

    SINCE LASVEGASTEDDY started a thread about a coin from my collection,I decided to make a few comments.Firstly the coin is spectacular.It is a virgin coin that has never seen a coin doctor and it it as pristine as when it left the mint more than 100 years ago.Its state of preservation is poifect (as we say in Brooklyn).It is better than most every proof 67 matte proof Lincoln cent I have ever seen.MPLunatic,how many matte proof Lincoln cents have you seen in Proof 67 red ?This coin graded proof 68 red the first time it was submitted.
    My reason for offering the coin in auction is because I own two 1914 matte proof Lincoln cents in proof 68 red.I don't need the money.It seems that there isn't anyone who can set a price for the coin although there are three well known matte proof Lincoln cent collectors who offered between $80,000 and $100,000 for the coin.Even I don't know what the coin should cost.All three collectors and myself decided it is best to put the coin in auction unreserved and let the person who wants the coin most to win it.This is what I am doing and I wish all of you Good Luck !

    Stewart,
    Thanks for your comments. I think what you say "carries weight". You KNOW this coin better than anyone and your words represent your reputation. I wish you much luck in the sale of this coin and it certainly will establish a solid basis for your other 1914 Matte Proof Lincoln Cent in PR68RED.

    I read the Heritage description that this was part of a proof set. What happened to the other coins? What did they grade out? Looks like a good return on the investment. A nice, nice coin. I would pass on it though. It would give my MPL's a inferiority complex image Probably the owner too.

    74,750 so far. 92,500 will be the last. Might go higher though if the 3 hard core top Lincoln guy competitors go nuts.
