I have decided to sell the "Controversy coin". The 1989 Lincoln cent that was attributed by CONECA's Dr. James Wiles as having a reverse design thought to have been discontinued at the end of 1988. The auction details can be viewed at the following link: http://cgi.ebay.com/1989-Lincoln-ce...ryZ31373QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem The coin was featured in an artile in Coin World's Collector's Clearinghouse issue dated October 22nd, 2007. Please post your comments about this auction. There is also an active auction for a true modern rarity being conducted on ebay right now. It ends on November 25th. It is for a 1988 Lincoln Cent that has a reverse design variety that didn't see widespread use until 1989. This coin is extremely rare with only a fourth example just having been reported. The variety was first discovered in the spring of 2007 and reported in Coin World's Collector's Clearinghouse August 27th, 2007 edition. This coin is a sleeper. When it makes the fifth edition of The Cherrypicker's Guide it's value should appreciate nicely. Take a look. Go on to ebay and search "RDV-006".
