How many 1931-S cents does a person need?

I think a roll might be sufficient, but haven't gotten to that point yet.

You need as many as your heart desires. There is no upper limit.

To my way of thinking, just ONE nice 1931-S Lincoln cent will do. Mine is a nice one in a PCGS holder graded MS64RD. Steve

Yea... what's a limit anyway.... 28p...28p...28p....

I only have one, but 50 would be good too. Of course all of them would be better

Shamika · June 3, 2004 9:53AM

How many are there?

I thought about putting together a roll set of circ wheats at one time, with the exception of the SVDB and error coins. I guess if someone was doing that, then 50 would work.

Other than that, I'd think one per set that you're working on would work. I have a raw set and a nicer slabbed set. So I have two of them. The slabbed one just came in the mail today.

I have only one for my type set.
PCGS MS65RD. Used to be a cheap coin a few year ago. I think I picked this one up for less than $200.

I had two, now I am down to one MS64RD!

Wasn't there some story or something, that 500,000 31-s cents were sent to Utah (over half the mintage) and some guy had the opportunity to buy them at face but decided to turn the offer down.

I saw the one you purchased today, I did like it. Congratulations. Since the 1931-S is really not that rare, go for it, collect a roll.

I got the 1866 PCGS MS-65BN from Rick Snow that I talked to you about, it is fantastic.

Good seeing you again.

A roll should be at least fifty times as good as one.

kranky · June 3, 2004 11:34AM

Someone (can't remember the name) had a huge hoard of over 200,000 at one time. It was heavily hoarded right from the time of issue.

1931-S .01¢?? Some kind of semi-key or something? I don't get it.

But then, I'm not much of a copper guy anyway.

I still need a few more for my roll.

Feb 2002, we auctioned an estate and it had a roll of 50 that graded AU-BU.

Are you sure Russ?

One 1931-S cent for my boyhood Lincoln set is good enough for me.

I have virtually no duplicates of anything in my collection. I want as many different items as possible and duplicates represent money that could be used to buy something new, different and exciting.

laserart · June 3, 2004 10:06PM

clw54, the 51st will make a nice giveaway.

I seem to remember reading that a huge hoard of Unc. 1931-s cents, numbering in the hundreds of thousands,
once existed. Does anyone know what happened to it?

nccoin · June 4, 2004 7:22AM

I have about 30 in various grades between AU- MS65. It's a sickness

lordmarcovan · June 4, 2004 7:57AM

Hmm.

I've never had one.
