[QUOTE="clembo, post: 607615, member: 8033"]Just incredible how some people are when it comes to modern (and does it get much more modern than this?) coins. A $5000 price tag. The seller may, or may not get it. He WILL get a hefty premium as, after all, it's an NGC First Day of Issue. Whoop de doo! Now, don't get me wrong here. MS68 is indeed a lofty grade especially if the "formative years" coins are as shoddy as the "log cabin". I've seen enough and the quality is horrible in my opinion. I own zero and wll be fine if that number stays where it is. It's a very modern cent. It's in a chunk of plastic and there will be MILLIONS minted. The TPGs become more pathetic every day on this modern stuff. They fan the flames of "I need the best" on this modern stuff. They can do it with modern stuff and get away with it. They make their own price guides and issue "population reports". Want to do something interesting? See how the population reports change on these in the next six months vs. the population reports on, let's say, an 1893-S Morgan. Then figure out what is an authentic and proven rarity.[/QUOTE]
