Just found this when searching on Teletrade. Seems like a lot of money for a damaged coin in an NCS holder. Any thoughts?? Link: http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=2377&lot=1027 This looks like a common reprocessed cent to me.
It is a common reprocessed cent and yes that is a lot of money for one. Somebody who didn't know any better bought it.
For comparison, my PCGS 66 cost me $22.96 including shipping. I will say that steel cents are priced very high for their population certified. I guess it is just the novelty.
I would like to know the history of this coin being submitted to NGC/NCS.....must have been an inexperienced collector. I have some reprocessed cents like that laying around that have come in junk. I wish I could get $20-25 each for them....lol
