What makes this coin so special?

As a Noob.. I'm curious what makes this coin so special? Is it the "POP" in the title?

PCGS has only graded 31 of them that high. NGC = none.

 

Its MS-68, which is really good condition. I think "POP 31" means that pcgs has graded 31 in MS-68.

 

BTW None have been graded higher.

 

Ahhh.. That makes alot more sense.. Appreciate the help.

 

Is it just me.....or is that cent slightly rotated?

 

It appears to be.

 

Bids are up to $525 for this common date Lincoln cent. Mintage > 5 billion.

 

I'd be willing to bet the reason the pop on certification is so low is because, why on earth would anyone wast money sending this coin in to be certified? Chances are there are a few hundred million out there in bank rolls that are just as nice.

I never cease to be amazed at what people will buy.

It sold for $525. The highest I have seen is $750.

 

What makes it so special?
Stupidity.

 

Maybe it is so special b/c of its grade. I dont Know. I dont see why such a common coincould go that high. Admins!!!!!!

 

greg:
It is becasue of the condition census.
People are putting together 'best known' sets.
Especially for PCGS and that drives up the prices to silly levels.
I am just waiting for the fall in the registry sets prices.

Stay with scarce or better date coins.

 

ROTFLing... :thumb::thumb::thumb:

 

What's a Noob?

It's what everyone else calls a Newb? or is it extinct species of bird?

 

both.

 

THAT IS RIDICULOUS............


1. That coin has NO history so far.
2. You could buy a proof for way less, and it would look better
3. It's ugly and slabbed
4. You could buy any other coin in that condition for maybe twice the price of the standard uncirculated-so maybe 2 cents for that coin ?

Come on, lets be logical.
Worth 3 cents at least!
