If you find one in boxes of pennies, consider yourself lucky. I've searched through and found some, so don't give up. I have been trying to sell one on ebay for just under $100 for the longest time, with no luck. |

Your chance to find one will vary greatly. I have found 2 in a box and at the same time I have searched $700 in cents without finding a single one. I just finished going through $200 in cents and did not find one. If I remember correctly...I have 8 - 10 in flips. I know there are others on the site that have more...alot more. :)
Good luck with your 2 boxes. Its all a matter of luck. I have sold a few in the past. Back in 2009 they realized quite a bit more value then they do now. I sold 3 lower grade ones and bought my first metal detector with the money. Always nice to get something you want for the hefty price of 3 cents. :)

As for the gentleman who happened upon a hoard of the coin variety. I do not think I would have reported that to anyone. Why release the fact that you have in your possession a hoard of a sought after coin. I would of had a quantity graded and filter them out slowly. With the ongoing removal of the Canadian cent from general circulation...the value of a particular coin would surely be affected by the quantity available to the market. I have a few raw in my collection and I can't imagine me selling them in the near future. I have never really been in it for the money...I like the hobby itself and the thrill of the hunt.
Now...I just need to find a roll of the 1955 NSF Cents to hide away and drool over. I like the one I have but I could always use a few nicer examples. :)
Happy Hunting all.

Me too. I found one in change right before the pennies were pulled but found nada in any rolls I've searched.

Or ... talk about it to CCN. Buy up the supply at a coin show . And then put in a full page add in the next CCN. "ULTRA RARE" "Estimated Mintage: 30,000" "MS-65 - $635 (51 certified by ICCS)" (xxx x17 pictured) "MS-66 - $1235 (28 certified by ICCS)" (XIH 082 pictured) "MS-67 - $2435 (5 certified by ICCS)" (XIH 050 pictured) So, is he including his flood of certifications in the numbers? The certificates pictured imply at least XIH 017 - XIH 082 are now certified (65 new ICCS certifications) Edited by dialog_gvf

I started setting the 2006 pennies aside in my last 3 bags and found 2 2006 magnetic no logo. Probably sent at least a few more back to the bank when I wasn't looking for them. The 2006 P mint mark coins seem to be more scarce and I have yet to see one (but have only been looking in the last ~7500 cents).
I don't think these are as scarce as some people want to make them appear. However, the vast majority are going to get melted down so maybe they will be.

The thing that is crazy is that the MS65 sold for around $250 before he found his hoard. And the MS66 for say $900.
I would peg the value of an MS 65 now at say $150 and an MS66 at $500 tops. And maybe he only certified half his hoard.....or maybe 25% of his hoard.......

Trends is $300 for the MS-65 and $500 for the MS-66. Quote:

You're right with respect to the evil-twin: 2006P non-magnetic. But, this is the magnetic (STEEL) coin. It will be culled by roll/box hunters well before it wears out. It will specifically pass the ARP (apply magnetic field and recirculate what attracts). From the ad: "Please note: some of these coins have been sent back to the Mint for melting" By the Hamilton dealer? How can this guy not be viewed as greedy and untrustworthy? |
