WOW!! First PCGS MS70 LINCOLN CENT EVER!! (For those who haven't seen it yet)

Wow, for those of you who haven't seen it yet on eBay...

Check out this auction!

This is truly a monumental achievement for whoever finally found this coin! This one's a registry set topper for sure, not that I am into spending $3000 on a 2005 cent for a registry set!

I bet that submitter let out a load in his/her pants when they looked up that submission!!! NICE!

It's like history being made right before our eyes.

Eh, it's Satin Finish.

kranky · July 12, 2005 1:21AM

I'm glad for the submitter, but it won't surprise me if we see a bunch more of these out of the 2005 mint sets.

Yep.

It won't surprise me at all.

This is already a pop 2 coin (at least as of last week)

wondercoin · July 12, 2005 1:39AM

My best research suggests there may be between 4-11 2005 PCGS-MS70SF Lincoln Cents in existence at this moment, which would then hit the pop reports over the next couple weeks. At this "stage of the game", the Lincoln Cent appears to be one of the easiest 2005 SF coins to obtain in perfect PCGS-MS70SF. But, I thought PCGS might grade a perfect 2003(p) Lincoln cent as they were incredibly produced coins even before "SF" was a working concept. Once I have 100% confirmation on the existence of some or all of these additional coins, I can follow up.

Wow, thats news to me! I'm not a PCGS member so I can't look up pops, and they haven't updated any pops for the 2005 coins in the Registry sets yet. Is it already listed as a pop2 in the member's area? So it sounds like the 2005 sets must be better in overall quality?? Y/N?? Have there been any other denomination 70s pulled yet?

Editted to add: Even if more 70s continue to surface, it sure looks like this seller won the rat race!

zzzzzz....zzzzzz......zzzzz

Well,

I'm not bidding without a photo!

There have been numerous 70 grades in other series as well.

Russ · July 12, 2005 2:08AM

Yep, somebody is forking over $2625 for a coin that will be worth half that inside of two weeks and 1/10th that inside of a year.

To jump out and spend 3 grand on something that has more potential for losing ground than gaining ground is really silly. I wonder what the pops will be in six months?

joefro · July 12, 2005 3:05AM

Definitely not worth $3000 to me (hey, maybe to someone else) but if the pops keep going up this buyer is sure to be kicking himself later.
So the quality of the mint sets must be awesome this year (because of the SF?) if multiple 70s are being found for the first time yet. Has anyone else here had any awesome luck this year with the Mint Sets?

MadMarty · July 12, 2005 3:07AM

Ewwwww, Ultra Modern Crap!!!

Shamika · July 12, 2005 3:33AM

Nankraut, you made me laugh.

geb209 · July 12, 2005 3:35AM

Up for bid before they get it back from PCGS.

mgoodm3 · July 12, 2005 3:39AM

Sad part about a coin like that is: Just go show it to your brother-in-law and he'll tell you that he has 10 just like it at home. He got them at the 7-11 in change.

joefro · July 12, 2005 3:57AM

<< Up for bid before they get it back from PCGS. >>

From the sound of things to come, this is the only way to do it! I wouldn't be surprised if the 2nd one on eBay sold for 25% less than the first one. Gotta beat everyone else to the punch here!

Agreed

Never buy a coin that is worth less outside of the holder than in!

IMO, it's sadder that someone thinks it's worth a few thousand bucks.

With a coin like this, you gotta keep in mind that the bidder is paying just as much for the Registry Bump as they are for the actual coin.
Obviously whoever is bidding on this cion has a pretty sizeable disposable income... and for some with a twisted psyche, being #1 is more important than having a perfect coin. IMO, that's the sad part.
