2009 Lincoln cents?

This roll of 50 (yes thats 50 cents) is currently bid up to $112. And I get flak for selling a handcrafted pure silver bar for spot + $5??? Am I missing something here?

whats the big draw on this?

    You still miffed about folks giving you trouble for making money?



    This whole zinc cent thing is a good example of the money that can be made in the first days of the release of a coin. Somehow, I suspect the value of these cents will plummet quickly to about one cent.



    I think lots of this anger comes from folks that are upset that they are not the ones making the money.
    I mean, if you sell your bars for a markup, how on earth can they resell them for a profit? They cannot. "Therefore you suck." image
    This seems to apply to both your bars and those zincolns.

    To quote Babe Ruth when a reporter asked him if it made sense to him that he was paid more than the President of the U. S.; "Yes, I had a better year then he did."
  • I've sold four lots of three coins each for $5.50 each, free shipping. They sold so fast that I've upped the price to $6.50.image

    At the moment, they are almost as scarce as the UHR ..... Non available in the DC Metro Area Banks.

    My bank says try in March. That is when they get new coinage. So far I could not find any here in Maryland yet. Though not really actively seeking.
