So.. After searching some OBW rolls.. I found some varieties that seem to carry a OK price in the Cherry Pickers or On CopperCoins.. I have never asked my Local Shop.. and will be going by there this weekend but wanted to know do most dealers buy Varieties? I am guessing the fact it is in the Cherry Pickers may help.. Does the Grey Sheet cover such things? These would grade MS65 1961D RPM-001 D over Horizontal D ... Cherry Pickers has it at 35.00.. One of these may grade Higher.. Any one know of a value? MS64 1961 D RPM-047 MS65 1961 D RPM-004 / CRPM-002 MS65 1961 D RPM-001 D over Horz. D
As with everything, you need to know your market. The Greysheet doesn't cover varieties except for the more popular ones that are well-established in the Red Book. My guess would be that most dealers wouldn't be interested in Cherrypickers varieties. However, if you find a specialist, and there are certainly some out there, you may be in luck. My best suggestion is to head to a decent-sized coin show, where you will see dealers with all kinds of specialties and will have a better chance to find someone who will pay a premium.
Main stream shops and dealers will down play this type of stuff in most cases Main stream shops and dealers will down play this type of stuff in most cases. The reason is they have no customers wanting it or other dealers needing it. The first 2 in your list only seasoned variety people will pay much of a premieum for, the D over horz, D is a good one but remember there are tons of them and in that grade (I have found upward of 50 of these in BU Rolls) - the wholesale price is about $8 for nice BU. If you want to be in "this game" you will need to establish contacts in this field of others that are looking or dealing in this type stuff. Look at Lincoln Cent Resource online to find more like minded people. You may be thinking "gosh, only $8 for this nice coin" but remember if you one day get a roll of 61-D for the $2 price tag and end up with 10 of these you can make $80 for your $2 investment - I have done this type thing 500 times at least!
