This auction will close in 39 days. Thus far it's drawn 58 bids!
I think it would be fun for us to issue a prediction on the final hammer (minus the juice). CLOSEST WINNER GETS A PRIZE FROM ME! Guesses must end by midnight, Sunday, December 18th. And then we'll wait to see who wins in January and I'll revisit this thread then.
Edit to add: guesses should be without buyers premium.

This will be the prize.

As this item has flatlined in this grade for the last 3 years, I will stick with the last sold item price of $114,000. Never know how many bidders feel a must for this coin and how much the anomaly off the chin might affect the amount bid for it. Beautiful coin regardless.

Not the slightest idea.
I'll go with $210,000 hammer. It looks like it's already got quite a following!

I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

Stu’s coins always perform $160,000 easily
PCGS Price Guide has it at $125,000, pop 2 with 0 higher. I predict $127,500.
$99,000 is my thought.

WAG--$250,000 (plus BP); when folks for whom a few hundred thousand dollars isn't a lot of money start jostling for the win, the sky's the limit.
$159,000
Here's the link. With 39 days left if anybody wants to follow it I'm going to forget all about it by the time the hammer drops....... https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1272982/1955-Lincoln-Cent-Doubled-Die-Obverse-PCGS-MS-65-RD-CAC-Red-Copper-Collection

Remember bid increments with your guesses!
"She comes out of the sun in a silk dress,

$125,000 is the PCGS Price Guide Value, so if bidding heats up, then roughly 135k with BP is what I am guessing

$125,000 before buyers premium per rules of this contest.

$185,000.00. Congrats. in advance to the winning bidder.
It is not a + 65 RD. I have no idea how CAC approved it but it is a solid 65RD but not a +. Good strike, EDS, but whacked against the cheek and and a bunch of planchet shit showing plus a spot on the date and fingerprint remnants. It is not a + IMO.
My guess $152,500
Your guess should be revised since the requested guess will not include buyer’s premium.
"She comes out of the sun in a silk dress,

I'll guess $157,500
