1954-D Penny - PCGS graded MS64RD

I paid $1.00(plus $1.80 shipping) from a ebay buy it now listing. I am just curious how much it is worth?

The seller messed up. It was worth more than a dollar.

 

Do you know about how much it is worth since it is graded?

 

$8

 

You can (and sometimes need to) verify the certification number here: http://www.pcgs.com/cert/

It will verify that it is an actual PCGS graded coin, and provide other info, such as the PCGS book value, which in this case is $2. Even at $2.80 I would say you made a good purchase.

You can always check book values for all coins here http://www.pcgs.com/prices/

2818 = PCGS reference #; 64 = grade assigned; after / = cert #

 

Good deal! Idhair is correct, around $8.00. But some poor soul paid a lot of money to have this slabbed.

 

Alrighty thank you all!

Also as tommy stated, it would have cost $25 to have that penny graded correct?

 

No way to ever know for sure. It could have been sent in on a special with free return shipping or piggy backed on someone else's order. But that would be pretty close...$12.00 grading plus splitting the shipping.

 

Not necessarily. If it was part of a bulk submission the cost would have been much lower.

 

Not really. It was probably included in a roll so the gradee got bulk rate. My guess would be $7 to $9 at most.

 

(And) it could have been submitted by a newbie at full price who thought he/she struck gold. Have to get into my time machine to go back and see if I can figure this out.

 

heh, ok thanks everyone ;-)

 

When I was actively submitting coins to NGC, I made it a point to submit certain coins as my renewal freebies if I didn't think that they were worth grading on the usual grading tiers.

my Redbook says 1 dollar but with the grading is probly worth around 8 bucks.

 

The majority sold on eBay recently have sold for brtween $3-$6. There are a few more expensive that the bulk are in that range.

 

It's book is just under what you paid for it: http://www.pcgs.com/prices/priceguidedetail.aspx?ms=1&pr=1&sp=1&c=46&title=lincoln cent (wheat reverse)

 

The grading by a TPG should not factor into the value of the coin. If you're selling your car, do you increase the asking price if you fill the tank?

@cpm9ball

I think grading should up a coins value, you have to pay to have them graded so it would make more sense to charge a premium on that said coin.

I am new to this, but yea...
