Well here is my theory. New generation of "State Quarter Fanatics" sees prices as no object. Bids obscene amounts on traditional coins. A. Does the new generation run out of money before we run out of coins? or B. Do we take a new revived interest in granpa's fish can of "about good" mindless pennies because they are all thats left. OK Just kidding.. but after loosing a very nice 39-D nickel to some moron that paid $150.00 for it.. I feel justified
You just do not understand the state quarters have George Washington on them and he is a dead president. That makes the coin worth alot of money. Twenty five times more then the penny that just had a building on it. I do not know what is on the other side of a penny but I do know that one side has a building. Now would they sell anything on TV that is not worth alot of money. and ebay is the future of shopping so since it is the future, anything that I buy on it is an investment. Just wanted to give my five cents on this matter. Which would be five pennies. See, I know my coins.
I can play this game. I have a cent that has Lincoln on the Reverse and the Memorial on the Obverse. That rarity/error/pattern/ should be worth something. I also have a cent that was erroneously struck on a nickel planchet with nickel dies. Looks a lot like a nickel.
well shucks.. you two... <thinks to self> <thinks to self some more> ok, you have me over a barrel, I'll give you $100 for each of them. I'm just thankful they aren't errors.. then that will cost me.
