Well I went to the auction where the 1957 MS70
Lincoln Cent was being sold.
See here.....

Red Book! I even pulled my large print
Red Book out to act as if I was checking prices as the guy beside me bid up a 1987 proof set to $25. After he bought it he asked me what it was worth so I showed him what was listed in the book. he grunted and then proceeded to bid another 87 proof set up to $17.50
Red Book lists it at $5. Here is the sad part, they had two Unc 63 Franklin's and they both went for $7.50 and $10. I was in the men's room listening while taking care of other things. The MS70 cent looked like it would barely make an AU grade and sold for $32.50.
I did manage to pick a very nice late 1800's solid oak rocking chair for $45. Estimated value on the chair is $300-$400 according to my antique dealer neighbor.
