<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 114317, member: 4552&quot;]Value of errors?????????? That is a tough one. There is no actual real guaranteed prices on error coins. Few coin books, magazines, coinnewsletters or even web sites list all the types of error coins. You must remember that if any listing did exist it would be into the many millions and milllions of listings. Again, check out the coppercoins.com web site. I&#039;ve got one of his books and there are errors listed for almost every year and mint that the Lincoln Cent was ever produced and he hasn&#039;t touched on the entire possibilities. I go to about 2 or more coin shows a month and also visit several dealers in coins. There are a never ending increase in the errors being shown for sale. They are for all denominations, all mints, all types and the list keeps on growing. Due to the massive amount of possibilities of errors, it is up to the dealer and buyer of each one what they may be worth.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Many error coins are worth very little and only to an error collector. Other error coins that have made it into the Red Book hall of fame have sky rocketed to absord values. For instance the famous 1955DD Lincoln has jumped up in value to the worst condition possible to about $1,000+ at the last show I was at Sunday. The ever growing&nbsp; popular 1972DD is also climbing the ladder of success at near the $600 mark for just a XF. The one that gets me is the 95DD is now going for over $100. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The offsets that used to be just a conversation piece are now into the $ ranges for the slightest offset at shows. The quantity of shows in an area, the amount of dealers there, the amount of local coin dealers, the cost of a table at the show, the quantity of buyers that visit a coin show all contribute to the prices of all coins and the error coiins are still catching on as a hobby.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Back to your coin though, again I suggest you go to the expert in Lincolns at coppercoins.com and check with him. However, it still is a great looking error coin regarless of the value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
