For those completing a collection of lincoln cents, this is low issue of slightly over 1 million. Bowers mention that little attention was given to its small number until later in the 1930s when coin boards became popular and people realized that it and the 1909SVDB were almost impossible to find in circulation. Most of them were then rather low grade, whereas the 1909SVDB being a first year of issue had many un-circulated saved as keepsakes. So the rarity of the 1914-D stands out in the MS grades, although high in lower.
The 1914-D is of the many key dates in the lincoln set. This one has nice details, so I expect it to reach at least $110.
Not true, I have started auctions 99 cents for coins with a value well over that. It is tactic, that gets a lot of people involved, whether they actually bid on it or put it on their watch lists. Sort of psychological, people think they have a chance to get something cheap, then two or more people hopefully decided they really want it. Mike
Of course he knew.... that's why he sent it in for grading. Like Mike said, many savy eBay sellers will start their auctions at ninety-nine cents, and let the market dictate price.
