   Here, for what it's worth is my experience with these Type 2 cents. In 2000, enough of the Type 2 cents were found to spark the interest. Soon it was discovered that 1998 had a Type 2 reverse also. The 1999 Type 2 was only a rumor. About 2 years ago, a set of, I believe, AU coins sold for a little over $100 on E Bay. I was…

   MCM-- They came into the limelight a couple of years back with some Coin World stories. Everybody was looking through rolls until their eyeballs were falling out. As I recall things, we're talking about a single proof die, with a run no more that what a single die will produce (about 1.2 million or so? Do I remember…

   Well I did some checking and a local collector has a 99 type 2 he is willing to sell me, Im probably gonna send it to get slabbed first and then sell it. Unless I get a really good offer from one of you guys, or I would be willing to trade for some nice lincoln wheat proof cents because Im trying to get a registry set…

   Since I've been following these Lincoln's I have only seen two 1999's for sale on Ebay. I have been into them for about a year, or at least close to that. The one I believe was graded by ANACS as MS65, and was broadstruck(please don't quote me on this!) sold for $200 and one pretty recently (ungraded I think) sold for…

This is especially true for cents where attrition rates are staggeringly high. Even if a concerted effort by large numbers of people were made to…

    Rella, My thinking is based on my sense that the flurry of interest/activity/high prices around the discovery of a contemporary variety has passed in this case, and that the prices have stabilized. While the pops of the 1998 at NGC seems to have risen by about 40% or so over the past several months, the 1999 pop and the…
