    I went to a local coin trade show and had a guy looked at my Lincoln cent and wanted to buy it. He wanted me to put a price on it. I was kinda dumbfounded because I would not think this cent had much value. The cent has a imprint at the base of Lincoln and also from his chin to his collar (looks like another coin reed) also in his hair toward the top of his head . Any one have any I idea as to what price would be acceptable. Thank you all.

    I'm not sure but it just looks like it took a hit. Is it incused or raised? Maybe the dealer is thinking it's some kind of "struck through" error.

    The offer is still standing and I don't know why he is not willing to put a price offer. I know I am a beginner and don't want to be 'too off' on a price. So what would be a reasonable price? Thanks for any enlightenment...

    Why not ask him what he's offering?

    Go from there.

    Find out what kind of money he's talking and take the money or trade for something of equal or higher value. There's really nothing that I find too exciting about it.

    Start the price high if he won't start the price war. Either way, you win even if you trade it with another penny, because that's all it's worth. ;)

    Maybe he thinks the reverse doubling on the 94 cent is on the denver coin too. There are also some who are trying very hard to establish hard evidence of a double ear 94-D cent. Problem is it looks more like a strike issue almost like a machine doubling than a true double ear. Tell him you'll take a buck for it..lol

    What made you put it aside to show to a dealer in the 1st place ?

    I believe he's referring to the giant Cuban cigar dangling out of Lincoln's mouth and over his shoulder ;)

    I'm with ikandiggit on this one.
