On Numismedia's website, they list the FMV price of coins. When it lists the 1982 Lincoln Cent, is their listing for the copper 1982 or the zinc 1982? Can it be the same price for both types? |

There is a feature on the bottom of the home page where you can email questions.I'm guessing the pricing is the same for both as they don't know the mintage difference.

Numismedia replied to my email and said the price was for the bronze coin.

Cool, I know the zincs are harder to find so that makes sense in a way...except they still don't have mintage figures for either. Guess we can now assume higher prices for zinc.

You will never find mintage figures broken down into all seven varieties. They were never recorded by type at the mint, so any reference that lists them separately with mintage figures is purely a guess.
Values are different for the seven different varieties and should be listed by any reputable guide. This is my biggest (and just about my only) beef with Numismedia - they seem to ignore that all seven exist.

coppercoins From my searches through rolls I seem to find less 82 zinc small dates. Somewhere in my boxes I have a BU set of the 7 types that year , It came in the mail back in 1985 it cost 99 cents and shipping was 49 cents . I remember my dad writting a check for $1.48 I remember reading back in the 80's that no track of how many were minted was recorded by the mint and back in the mid 80's they said in some coin collector guide it was a nice addition to the set of LMC but none were worth more then another. I guess times have changed. But my question is now ? have people figured out wich ones are minted in less amounts and have a numatic value above face? |

I keep hearing about bronze, zinc, and copper. I know zinc and copper are different metals, but is bronze just another name for copper, or is it zinc? I get confused.

Which website has the most trustworthy FMV prices - numismedia.com or coinvaluesonline.com ( Coin World)? |

To tell the truth, I use ebay completed listings...some may not agree but it gives real time ball park figures. |

You mean whatever someone is willing to pay is what the FMV price is?

Naturally. If you had a car that everyone tells you is worth $10,000 and you try to sell it for that but only get offers for $5,000, then that is what it really is worth. Same with coins, houses, ping pong paddles, computers, flashlights, etc. Nothing is really worth anything until someone is willing to pay something for that item. Our entire world is price and demand. |

just carl - I appreciate your response, but let's say someone sells a 1922 Lincoln Cent in AU condition for $20, is that really the FMV price for that coin? |

Best way I've heard it put Just carl... It really is only as expensive as someone is willing to pay. ebay gives a decent snapshot of that. |
