Master8r: Well, there isn't a chat room on this forum, so this is really the only way. Or you could send someone a PM (Private message) and start a dialogue that way. Also, e-mail a member. also, look at the bottom of the main forum page, you will see which memebrs are currently on line, and how many visitors are viewing.
This is a forum, not a chat room so it's slow to response I'm often available as gxseries at irc.rizon.net (that is if you know what irc is)
A 1793 chain cent in ms-65 brn sold for 189,500 dollars. A 1793 liberty cap penny sold for I believe 280,000 from the eliasberg collection.
i just saw reference to a 1943 copper cent that sold for 60,000 and it had a nasty scratch across the head!
Too bad the red isn't literal.. What I found last night... lol.. Here Although it's a D and not an S.. I have an S but it's in worse shape..
Actually, the second costliest Lincoln I know of is the opposite - 1944-D Steel cent. From Heritage; Lincoln Cents 1944-D 1C --Struck on a Zinc-Coated Steel Planchet--MS63 NGC.... NGC MS63 August 12, 2007 $115,000.00
In reality that is a tuff question since any coin is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If for some reason a multi millionair wants to pay a million for a 2003D cent, then that becomes the most expesive or most valuable. Not likely, but that is what it is. There are no manufacturing suggested prices on coins as with a car for example. OH, one more thing. There are many coin people that get all upset with the term PENNY. They will insist they are CENTS.
I have an 1847 Large Cent in G4 condition that belonged to my grandfater. Value: approximately $10 or $15. However, it's MY most valuable cent (at least for sentimental reasons)...
