New Ebay 2012 Farewell To The Penny Roll. Only $6666.00

I saw the shipping and forgot to mention it. $40 to ship a roll. At least the coins are such a good deal that the shipping doesn't really matter!! lol

Hold your horses everyone! Once I get my 50 posts I MIGHT be willing to part with my roll for $5000. You know how it is, student loans, need quick cash, yada yada.......

The RCM made so many varieties that I'm surprised the 2012 penny stuff has held its value this long. They really over-saturated the market, in my humble opinion.

You have that right, it is all Grandma bait. I can't wait to see what happens when they do away with the nickel........

I would think MAYBE the first roll would sell at a premium, but I've never heard of a limited edition anything selling for more for the last one. Also, it's just packaging. They grabbed the pennies at random. It's very much like the early release coins people pay premiums for; an artificial market based on the idea that they are early, but they aren't tracked and they also are kind of grabbed from the pool at random. I mean, these pennies are guaranteed to be a "mix" of either all steel, all zinc, or a combination of both, which is insane to me. But, value is in the eyes of the beholder, so even if I wouldn't ever think of paying it, that doesn't mean someone else needs it to complete their life. I am a both a bit amused and dismayed at the artificial markets created to creatively add value to certain items where the differences seem to me to be distinctions without differences.

I also have a roll of 50 2012 Lincoln pennies, with a mix of mint marks and some being in good condition to proof-like. These is a special roll, with a Star Wars action figure hologram glued on, that is extremely rare being that only about 6 billion of these pennies were minted. That means that not everyone on the planet can own one, being about a billion short. I grade these myself with a flip stapler out of the trunk of my car, so you can be guaranteed you are getting real value. Note, since this a roll, the grading is written on a stapled, brown paper bag. Who wants to start the bidding?
