Isn't this coin 1937-D Lincon Cent worth around 50 cents? Sorry if this is a board member here, I just don't get the "extra strength" power of this plastic.

Registry madness for the Everyman Sets?
I did not see your post before replying.

<< <i>With the Everyman Registry, you need 58's to have the top set. I'm sure enough sheeple want the top set by buying them instead of making them. He's sold a few.
But he has other coins of different grades, listed, which also seem way too high.

After careful consideration, I have decided not to purchase this item.

Smart move. With some patience, you should be able to find a stickered example.

Just make certain that a stickered example is not an AU58+ because I wouldn't want to chance having the coin disqualified from the Everyman Registry.

Yes, that would be tragic.
David Hall needs to make sure that whomever came up with the Registry idea gets an annual bonus (in perpetuity) that exceeds any other CEO bonus in this nation. It is a great concept, and, with the advent of the 'Everyman' sets, this continued certification of junk-bowl coinage will fuel a collecting fervor like nothing we have ever seen. It is a tribute to the certification market strategy that is absolutely brilliant in its concept.

BUT....common date Lincolns? pennies? Well...thats just a fools ride, sorry PCGS.
..... now I get it

Don't know for sure about that, but it's definitely a tribute to *something*.

"Dear layzpoet,
A person could buy a PCGS MS-66 1937-D Lincoln Cent for around $25.00. How does this Everyman set make collecting fun and affordable at $199 for an AU-58?"
His reply:
"Dear morgans63,
That isn't a hard question to answer, at all. Compare the highest Everyman grade to the highest MS grade. The highest coins I have in the everyman set are $200.00. What's the highest priced MS-67 from 1934 through 1958? It's in the thousands of dollars per coin, not $200.00. I'd venture to say that you and me added together with 10 more like us couldn't afford to buy a set of Lincoln wheaties in MS-67, but any of us could likely afford to put together a set in AU-58.
I'm sorry you don't like the prices of these, but quite honestly, if no one paid those prices, I wouldn't try to get that much for them. But if the price was $25 per coin, then no one would ever have one because they couldn't afford the certification fees.
I'll tell you what: you pick out 10 coins you think will grade AU-58 at PCGS. Send them in and see how many 58s you get back. I don't think you realise how minute the differences are between a nice AU58 and a typical MS-62. It's negligible. Send in 20 coins and get 4 AU58s back, and I think you'll understand the pricing structure a little better.
Best wishes,
