1941 Lincoln Cent Question

Hi volfan

after reading your post I went and looked at the PCGS guide,, it certianly says what you said it does, but I can guarantee you that it is a mistake, with a mintage of 887,018,000 it is anything but rare.

Im going to give it a couple of days myself, it is more than likely that has already taken place, by someone much more involved with PCGS than me ,, which is 0 involvement !!

I seldom look at their price guide, is it extremely high and unreliable in my opinion.

I use other sources as a guide on my cents,,

I too have never heard of one being worth more in brown. However, I sometimes find the brown ones to have superior aesthetic appeal. My sentimental favorite of all my Lincoln cents is a 1910 brown uncirculated (approx. MS-63 to MS-65; I don't really care about the fine distinctions in MS grades; I'll leave that to the investors). It's a common coin which I only paid about $10-20 for, but it is absolutely gorgeous. The mint luster is perfect, and it seems to shine through the even brown toning with occasional iridescent flashes. Although this coin is far less valuable, I like it better than my EF 1909S-VDB or my red uncirculated 1931S.
