2012 Special Wrapped Roll #20,000/20,000

there is no way pgcs will certify these rolls as last strike they are not last penny struck only last distributed by RCM, as for ms70 Canadian proof coins rarely grade a 70 most at best is a 69.

i dont think pcgs will certify a wrapper, PMG might the currency division, but who would buy a wrapper?

Unbelievable that this roll has hit this amount and it's just over the halfway mark. Still 3 1/2 days left.
There's also 4 bidders that have bid at least $1,550 or higher. Just wait for the last minute on this auction. It's going to be insane!

Imagine if you would that this was not a Canadian Penny but a US penny. How much would this roll sell for if it was a US penny, the last US penny? $100,000? Could happen, there have been discussion to this effect already.

Definitely not out of the question.
There are a lot of big time collectors with deep pockets that would pay for the bragging rights (as we're seeing with the Canadian last roll).
This roll is certified as the absolute last roll for circulation. Whether it is or the label is really is irrelavent as this one is marked as the last and that won't ever change.
That makes this a one of a kind item. There will never be another roll of pennies distributed.

For circulation. Never say never with NCLT as far as the RCM is concerned.

As tiring as this is, I can't let that one go by again. This roll is not certified as the last roll. There is no certificate from the Mint, the Government of Canada or anyone else to authenticate or represent this roll, or any other, as the last roll for circulation. Further, since it didn't follow the normal distribution channels, it could be argued that that's not even intended for circulation but that's another can of worms.

The roll has an audit tag attached as 20,000/20,000. This serial number is nothing more than an internal audit control to allow the mint to easily determine how many rolls they have produced. It's pretty effective. Print 20,000 stickers. Attach them to the rolls, and when you have no more stickers, you have 20,000 rolls. No need to count 1M pennies or 20,000 rolls.

That said, I wish the seller well. If someone wants to pay 5 grand or more, who cares?! As long as the seller collects the taxes and includes the gain on his tax return, it's all fair.
