<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 24883434, member: 22377&quot;]Some dealers have crazy prices on everything, including common coins. Being a big show also tends to mean higher prices to cover costs. I recall seeing a dealer with a bin of world coins at the last Central States Show (2023) where they had $3-$10 marked on each one. This is the type that you would normally see for $0.50-$2 (and I found some of those same coins for less than the dealer&#039;s price, including shipping, on eBay). </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the 1944 cent: toning, an error, or anything else special (older holder, sample holder) could dramatically increase the price. If it was just a normal red cent in a normal holder with a green CAC, then it shouldn&#039;t be worth any sort of premium. It now costs $22 to send to CAC but it used to be lower (I recall $14 around two years ago). One possibility is that someone tried for a gold sticker (which would make it a $150-$250 coin in the current market-even for a coin that would normally be $5-$10) and wasn&#039;t successful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
