Never heard of any MS ones at that price. There was a proof one that was over 7k though.

Well I want that information still because I'm organizing myself a little bit of a priority aproach. My aim is to learn alot about coin collecting and well this is a start. I aim to learn everything of each year. of the penny then die then quarter nickel of the US coins then get into grading and try to get good at that. Then possibly try to help others here aswell identify coins. I know alot to ready right .... lol

I checked the price guide and on average the highest price goes to 1960 P Large Date.

Hi young master

I just looked at Red Book value. Average is generally what the Red Book says it worth in a certain condition. Most 1960 pennies are selling for a dollar or less in MS condition. The 1960 P small date sells for 3-22. Only the 1960 d over D with small date over large sells for more. But there are a lot more 1960 small dates.

Please note I mistyped originally. The highest avg price is for small date not the large date.

The Red Book is one of the worst sources of values and I would not recommend anyone uses it unless they are just using it as a general guide of what the keys/semi-keys are.

The 1960 d/d is the most valuable business strike, a MS 64 will cost over 100, the 2 66+ will be four figures or higher. It has the highest average and highest total for MS coins.

If you exclude that one yes it is true the P small date would be likely to cost the most, but all of them will cost several hundred or more in the top grades.

Heritage, ebay, PCGS coinfacts, PCGS auction prices realized, Great Collections etc are all much better sources of historical price history. Once note about the PCGS auction prices is that through no fault of their own some places have chosen not to release their prices so for the last 3 to 4 years or so the main prices they capture are Legend, Heritage, Stacks, and ebay which is hit or miss depending on how the seller lists them.

I'm confused you JUST agreed with everything I said and I got my information from Red Book (and I also checked other sites that sell coins and they confirm what Red Book states).

Only in a general sense, the prices themselves were not accurate
