Do you think a Lincon Cent will ever sell for 7 figures? If so, which one and when?

SanctionII

I have no clue, but it would not suprise me to see it happen in coming years (decades). If it does happen, I would think the 1958 DDO may be a good candidate.

Your thoughts please.

commoncents05

One of the 1943-S Coppers might do it.

I predict this one In the year 2058.

holeinone1972

Yes,

When?

Just as soon as you transfer the money via paypal.

BECOKA

When it costs $50,000 to buy a gallon of milk.

The 1919 1c PCGS MS69RD.

Probably will be a while yet. Maybe 10 or 20 years?

OneCent

If one does sell for a million plus, I would bet it would be one of Stewart's.

tightbudget

43-D copper maybe? It is unique.

FishyOne

It's 10-15 years out but will, of course, happen eventually.

Stewart Blay has several possibilities and the '43 coppers could get there within 15 years.

By the way, how many Lincoln cents have gone for 6 figures?

PerryHall

There is a unique Lincoln cent struck in gold on a $2 1/2 quarter eagle planchet. That may hit 7 figures some day.

RWB

sure...but most of those on the left will be "0."

copperfan

I would think that the Blay 1919 MS 69 Red would have a great chance at this one day. Maybe not for awhile, but I could see this coin bringing moon money.


It is a killer coin too.

lasvegasteddy

there's really no reason why one or more won't

they will be the top of the cream

off hand i'd throw out the 43 coppers,the top 09 vdb matty,that 42 aluminum and yup...that 1919 ms69

My thought as well.


The '84 and '88 coppers will be up there with it in time.

I hope Stewart doesn't take this wrong, but quite frankly a relatively common coin that's only a half a grade higher than many others underneath it should NEVER sell for a million bucks.

SUMORADA

MPL's...............................the first one I ever held in my hand was one I bought raw on ebay (I got lucky) since then I have purchased (4) more,
they are like "crack' to Lincoln fans.

I'll bet most people have never seen one in person, If you have not you should, They are amazing coins.

So in the future my guess is that once the public discovers those MPL beauties, the sky is the limit as there are not enough to go around now, and not cheap either, but worth every penny!

I'd love to see that coin

mr1931S

I don't think any Lincoln cent will ever sell for a million dollars.Never is my guess.
Now if there is such a thing as 1909 SVDB struck on a gold planchet,maybe.

MORGANHUNTER2

It will never happen in our lifetime..

andf I'm referring to the current middle aged baby boomers..

Kids spend your money wisely down the road- there will be no SSI for you- I intend on getting every PENNY I can.

I second that!

Coxe

Doubt it in my lifetime. Inflation nasty enough to cause that would destroy the coin market alongside it. Best guesses for candidates are the 1943-dated coppers, 1944-dated steelies, and the 1964 SMS.

Rob790

Well, a good starting point would be to see which Lincoln cent sold for the most so far and that would be the recent sale of the 1944 s NGC 66 steel cent at $370k (with the juice added). The second would be the 1943 d copper at a little over $200k.

So if a Lincoln ever sales for over $1 million, it will probably be the 1944 s Steel and not the 1943 d copper. At least that is my guess since these are the only Lincoln Cents that have broke $200k level as far as I know.

A Lincoln cent has already sold for over 1/3 of a million dollars and at the rate of dollar devaluation, it probably won't be long before that $370k is $1 million.

I don't see any other Lincoln even coming close to the league of these two coins.

Boom

7 figures!

Unlikely, but then never say Never!

COALPORTER

Has any small cent sold for over a million ?

That'd be my guess too. That thing is cool!

1958 DDO

mr1931S

1958 DDO

This one really bothers me in that there are only 2 known.Where are the rest of them?

Aegis3

My guess would be whatever the finest known 1943 copper is. Frankly, I would expect this one instead of the branch mints. The Philadelphia issue just has had more allure and promotion to it.

ambro51

I think it would one of the yet uncertified mythical coins. If a genuine 1917 MPL or a 1910 VDB surfaces... It's too bad that the 12 prototype 1909 were all destroyed. If a wheat from 1959 is certified that would be another candidate.

copperfan

<<1958 DDO

Theres 3 known. Im thinking the Mint caught the doubling early on and removed it from use. Or, there is a large hoard somewhere and the owner doesnt even know they are there.

I could see this one topping a million if no more are discovered.

lloydmincy

Dont bother with "mythical" examples. That sounds like politicians using words like "change" or "hope"!! You have to think of a coin some of the deep pocket collectors would want. I feel because of the recent 1943-S steel cent sale price, it would be the 1943-D copper cent. The other coins are not unique, and do not have the historical hoopla/prestige like the 1943 copper cents. I am pleased the 1944 steel cents are finally getting their due!!!

RBinTex

Sure. In about a hundred years.

FishyOne

"Sure. In about a hundred years."

A $200K coin today coin will be worth $1,000,000 in 27 years at 6% annual appreciation.

lkeigwin

I'm surprised by the debate. '43D copper is the coin. And it will sell for more than a $million in 20 years.

morgansforever

1942 Aluminum PR66 cent? 1974 Aluminum cent?

Of course the 58DDO, RB lists 2 known, yeah, I'd say it has a shot.

Typo on my part. I meant 2 years, not 20.

Much more gently put than my words might have been.

Now that Simpson has his 43-D copper, if another one showed up what might that piece be worth? Private treaty, or auction. I think much less, but much more than we would have imagined before he paid $1.7M for his exquisite piece. Remember, a million bucks ain't what it used to be.

tightbudget

Heh go figure. I was right.
