CHERRY PICKER'S FS-801 1994-P Lincoln Cent Doubled Die DDR CONECA 1-R-IV #311

Hello Everyone, I need a little help trying to figure out an estimation of a value of my 1994-P Double Die, 10th memorial bay, partial doubled column, 11th memorial bay, almost full doubled column, also known as "The Big One". I found this coin in my change, and it's in excellent condition, but it's obviously circulated. My problem is this, I've been searching online about what the approximate value of this coin is, and the answers I find are all over the map. I see this coin in circulated condition on Ebay going for $150 - $250 dollars, and have even seen them listed for $2150. I don't want to send it out to be graded because I don't know what the approximate value is, I might pay more than the coin is worth. Also on some websites I also see a wide range of values. What is it that effects the value of this coin in such a random way? Can someone just give me an estimate of what I can expect the value of my coin would be, going by just the picture I have here? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I can't tell you what a reasonable value should be, but a lot might have to do with the number of people bidding on any one specimen. Of course, condition is important, but I would never rely on what someone may be asking for one. Those types are just hoping for a bidiot to come along.

Thank you Chris.

 

Not sure why it would be called the big one, but Wexler and Flynn Authoritative Reference on Lincoln Cents ( 2009) has it at XF $50, AU $95, MS60 $125 MS63 $150. I realize it was 6 yrs ago, but there have probably been more found since then. Check the past auction results on ebay or heritage.
