are lincolns going up?

I must say that I do NOT speak from any experience and defer to those that have.

Quite the opposite actually.

There were several bigfish building sets, and now that one has passed and his collection dispursed ( many overgraded coins ) the top end is dead or near death. The lower end of the spectrum ( blue collar collectors ) have not slowed a bit. With the exception of the economy, many would be spending even more and activly chasing down nice semi's.

Do some researching of recent Heritage auctions, you would be stunned by the high level price drops, yet the 3K-5K coins are as strong as ever ( they just started catching back up, they DID drop for a while)

As for the circ guys? Not a hint of a slowdown. Great XF and AU coins ( I said great ) are selling like hotcakes, it's the doggies that go unsold, and some have actually been creeping higher recently after about a 1 year lull in the sheet and dealer to dealer trading.

 

Just a recent thought from me, a pretty solid Lincoln guy with huge wantlist.

I left the last LongBeach show almost empty handed, just 2 circ SVDB's. I normally come home with a 3 month supply of high grade MS keys....They were priced above my ability to resell, and the Heritage auction I was again unsuccessful at my attemps on anything and I had a 25K budget.

The collectors were out and buying. Nice coins that is. Junk went unsold.

 

That's exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Unfortunately, that's what they say and to my knowledge no third-party testing has ever confirmed their results. If I'm selling a product and I come up with my own test to prove how great it is, but nobody else is able to duplicate the results, then to me that's the definition of hype.

 

is there something with the 1971 penny why ms65 listing for 25$ and 1971s less minted and is listed ms65 6$
