10 of the 31 Proof specimens in various grades are coming up for auction all at once at FUN. Depending on the grade, it’s a $300- $600 coin. Will this many specimens bring that value down ???? What sez you?

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

(May be off topic but - ) Stock market dynamics may drive the auction prices lower. The current issue with Dubai debt is panicing the equity markets especially since stocks have been on a bull run. People may seek the exits faster this time than last year given we are experienced with impact of financials on our investment. Coins just have a tough time in this environment.

I just checked the PCGS pop report on 1960 LD/SD and SD/LD proof cents. There are far more than 31 graded for each of these varieties. But irregardless, having someone auction off 10 at one time tells me he has accumulated a small hoard and has given up on them. I would think he would put them up one at a time and see how it goes. I also note these are all the new PCGS labels WITHOUT the coin numbers and WITH the FS number. (ie) graded or relabeled in the last three years. Bottom line is that this variety is still fairly scarce with only 92 graded of the LD/SD variety and 173 graded of the SD/LD variety. Lincoln cent PROOF coin collectors need this coin for their collection. If they don't currently own one, now may be the best time to go after it, particularly the LD/SD variety. JMHO. Steve
