I have a 1992 D Close AM and DDO reverse. It has been certified by the coin shops in my area, however nobody wants to buy it. I thought this was a rare penny? I know ebay is good but how much to ask? Why wouldn't a coin shop want?

Most coin shops don't have the customer base for a specialized coin, or, you may want too much money for it. Take some good photos, and put it on ebay, let the market decide.

Even if a coin shop wants it, they want it to resell and make a profit, so you are looking at an offer of probably 40-50% of what you could sell it for on ebay.

 To CCF!  We are going to need pictures to verify if it's what you think it is. Please don't try selling the coin without us seeing it first.

Here's what to tell if you have the real deal or not:  If you are sure it is a match, then submit the coin, then check to see how to sell it on heritage coins. They will cost a bit more, but with it stabbed, you should do well there. But to save you money, please show us your coin and we will help confirm if it is the real deal or not. (We get this claim a lot here. Sometimes it is the real, other times it's not. But checking the arrows on the above image is where to start.

Unfortunately, in order to sell anywhere close to its actual value, it's going to have to be certified by either PCGS or NGC. A certification from your local coin store isn't going to cut it. Second thing to realize is most coin dealers know little or nothing about errors or die varieties, so unless your shops is actually specializes in those things his certification once again means very little. On these forums are several people who are very well-versed in errors in die varieties. If you post a picture and the knowledgeable people here agree that it's a Close AM, then it will be worth spending the money to have it certified by the grading services. If it is a Close AM and you get it certified depending upon the grade of the coin I would suggest selling it either through great collections or Heritage auctions. Or with good pictures you could even try doing it yourself on ebay.

Odds are very high that he doesn't, but just in case he does, my last post was to give him advice on hand how to handle the problem. He asked for advice on how to sell it, and that's what I gave him.
