Is it just me or are the others that think this Lincoln Penny Deal is getting out of hand? Just opened an issue of Coin World. The first page I opened to was an advertisement for Lincolns. MS-67 2009 p First day of Issue NGC $799. Ms-67 2009 p First Day of Issue PCGS $895. MS -67 2009 D First Day of Issue PCGS $4,495. I realize the population is low but get real. |

When that infomercial on TV runs low on these coins, I'll be glad to gouge them, but I wouldn't sell any of these new coins above what I think they are worth and that ain't a whole lot. On the other hand, I have very few of these Presidential dollars, State and territorial quarters and new Lincolns anyway. I have a good friend or three on CCF and my Father-in-law that sent me samples for free. Those are special to me. Edited by TNG

What? Those prices are INSANE! I'd much rather have a nice 14D or SVDB and I guarantee you they will be worth more than a 2009 down the road.

That is totally nuts. Are people actually paying those prices?

I don't know if anyone is buying these coins. But the ad was in the May 4th issue of Coin World for a company called Chattanooga Coin. So here's a question for everyone. You got 2 coins both the same grade. One coin is a first day of issue the other coin is just a regular certified coin. Would you consider one more valuable over the other just because of some label? |

Oh one other thing. At the top of there add they claim these coins are 1000 times rarer than a 1909-s VDB.

A whole lot of people do. That's why "First Strike" and "Early Release" labels command a sizable premium in the marketplace. P.S. It doesn't make sense to me either but then again, the people who spend $400,000 for a vintage 1960's Shelby Mustang have a lot more money than I do. |

Beyond belief if it was not in writing....I cannot believe anyone would really pay that much though.
