2012 Last Day Of The Penny

Just letting you know your topic about gals in coin collecting got moved to the family forum. You never responded so I was guessing that you didn't know what happened to it. Here's the link.

Thanks for the link, I just thought it had got deleted. I'm still learning the ropes !! The Steven guy was selling them at $390
A box and they were moving. I learned a lot of coin history listening to him. He is saying the magnetic ones are ultra rare, about 1 in 3000. His company did a study of circulation pennies prior to their being pulled. He had some beautiful presentation wooden cases for his collections. The crazy thing a lot of his high priced items were sell outs. Like the half oz penny at $70. He was saying the boxes of pennies increased in price from his last visit. He was forecasting these rolls being very valuable in the future. Citing a roll of 1991 quarters being worth $500. That one crazy price for a roll of quarters. I wonder if its true? He moved 200 silver proof 2013 sets. He sold out on a bank note collection worth $7000. I must say the coins come alive on TV. The mint site doesn't do them justice. I wonder why the mint doesn't post actual photos? I like to see the real thing not

there was a few rolls of 1991 25cents recently sold at Moore auction for over 400.00 a roll, the 2012 pennies are not rare the 300 to 400 million produced are almost all hoarded

I also seen that banknote that collection....WOW!

There is a counter on the TV screen, and it counts down as he talks about the item. He seems to bring a large number of each item to the show. Saturday he sold 230 half ounce O Canada subscriptions. He talks a good game, I
Was nearly sucked into $288 worth of giftware and 2000 era quarter last Canada. After looking on ebay, I determined they were over valued and the quarters I could find in change. So I returned the set, I did keep the 2010 silver proof set and 2012 specimen sets. It launched my son and I into collecting, and not just from pocket change. Since then I've learned a ton, and what to stay away from. It's my hope some of the silver coins I pay over $25 will retain some of their value for when I pass them to my son . I learned most giftware is a poor investment and hasn't the quality of proof coins.
He had really talked up the value of the sets and of course they sold out . I like the payment plan as it allows me to buy coins I could not afford. I do think new collectors my get fooled by the sales pitch. The pennies were being hyped as a key date already. He also talked plenty about how rare it was to find a 2012 penny in circulation ! He was selling 1982 fifty cent pieces certified Ms 65 for $59 and Ms 66 was around either $150 or 199.00, I can't exactly remember. It was outrageous prices and some sold out too. The stuff at release prices were great, but other items over hyped. Rox

What did you get per box?

I ll have to get my hands on some to put away .....
