sold by heritage too.

 

I have been watching all of them, smiling at times and shaking my head at other times. This one was a smile !!

 

Yeah but you have to admit that is one hell of a coin. A unique coin and forgive my toning obsession intruding, but to find a steel cent with toning that attractive is virtually impossible. And this is a unique error coin from the wrong year with that toning. Just incredible.

 

Awesome coin, definitely one for the "if I win the lottery list."

 

Aw maaaaan, I was sure it was mine with $150 ebay bid. Fresh coin. Maybe 'twas someone on here n they are going to do a contest for it. :smile Check out the 3c silvers as well. WOW
ps. just a thought. Wonder how long it would be in circulation if the winner used it to pay for something before someone noticed.

 

I am really interested in the ICG MS-65 RD 1926-S they have, last I looked it was about 13K.......far below the last sale of the PCGS 65RD.

 

AJ, where are you looking. The Heritage 26-S is $14,950 buy it now.

 

WOW, they have changed it since I looked last night. I am finishing up the final little details in my interior painting, and just checking in when out back for a smoke.

$15 K for a 26-S 65RD? Well, theres the accuracy of your grade right there , even a oddball slab like an SGS would fetch big bucks IF IT WERE a 65-RD.........my greysheet shows $75,000 at 65 RD and $16,500 for 64RD.

hmmmmmmm, you'd think ICG would buy this just to hide it, lol

 

FWIW, the last ICG 65 sold for $13,800 (June), the last PCGS 64 RD went for $14,950. Kind of sounds like they think it is 64 RD.

 

Is that copper on the ear of that '44-S Steel or does it just look like it?

 

I assure you thjat there is no copper on or in that coin.

 

Wanna bet? Just kidding. But something is showing pink, there.

 

The coin's description says there is no damage, however it looks to me like the second "T" in STATES has a hit on the upper left end of the crossbar.

 

this is a fascinating coin.

Looks like someone was drooling on it !!!

 

Someone likes Lincoln cents a lot more than I do. I prefer women on my coins, so I guess that limits me to the 18th and 19th centuries for American coins. And BTW I am serious:



Lettered edge variety.

 

very awesome coin!

 

If you look closely at the coin, there is also a nick on the cheek, jaw, and coat. The coat also has a fair amount of chatter. However, I would not consider any of these significant enough to be called damage.

BTW, I cannot tell for sure what is with the "T", but I do not believe it is a nick. It looks more like a stain (drool?) to me.

 

Awesome Large 1c... but I bet you already knew that. :thumb:

There are plenty of ladies on 20th century US... Indian 1c, "V" nickel, all the Barbers (but they look like a man), Standing 25c, Walking 50c, many of the $1s (Morgan, Peace, SBA, Sac), all the $10 and $20 gold...
