My junk jar find came back from ANACS today and was slabbed au58 details on $.10 planchet damaged-cleaned. Any ideas as to rareity and value now. Anyone can reply to this thread with any input. I will sell this coin,,,just not my area of collecting and wondered if there was a market out their for these type of areas or should I just put it up on ebay and see what happens. Any ideas even for a start price.

Wow!!! Congratulations. I would venture to guess that coin is worth 1000+ dollars.

 

So you telling me it's SILVER!!! B12

 

Hi,
CONGRATULATIONS!! A wide range, I would venture to say at least $800.00 and a little more than $1000.00 could be reasonable.
If it were me, I'd check out a few reputable error dealers before I took a crack at Ebay. Not that Ebay would be a problem. You just may get a good offer without Ebay and you could keep more in your pocket that way !
Again,
Nice Coin!!
Bill

 

WOW....I'm gald it was real!!!...that is a first time for me that I have heard of a 11 cent coin struck on a silver planchet!!!!

Write Fred Weinberg--he has been nice to me at writing back fast...maybe he will even make a offer.

What a nice coin, and any serious Lincoln Cent Collector would be proud to have. I would give 8 to 9 hundred easy for that coin, I would put it on ebay and put it in the ERROR COIN category as well as the Lincoln Cent Catagory. Good Luck

 

Wow!!! Congratulations, Nice Coin, nice junk jar!!! You need to put that on ebay...Way to go Bigd

 

Congrats Bigd! That is awesome news.

 

Is there such a thing (1953 D silver Lincoln)??? Is that the first one anyone has found?? B12

 

This is the first time I have heard of a silver dime/cent but its not the first 11 cent coin know...I have seen 2 or 3 in person and know of more than that.

Speedy

 

Thanks Speedy. B12

 

I dont know!!!!!! Guess its silver.. Wasn't the dimes silver back then???? Has anyone seen a silver lincoln on a dime planchet before,,,other than a more mordern clad one????????/

 

Yep--up to 1964 the dime was silver

Nope but I would say that is because they are more $$$ than a clad 11 cent coin....the ones I have seen haven't made $1000.....

Speedy

 

Wow and you found it in a junk jar !!! way to go my man, good luck with whatever you decide to do with it

Congrats! BigD, that's quite a find. Thanks for letting us all be a part. I'm not good with the guestimates on value, so I'll leave it to MikeDiamond.

Just a thought, you may want to contact the folks at CONECA (http://conecaonline.org/) and see what they know about silver "11 cent" errors. I'm betting your coin would definitely be posted and credited to you in the recent finds section

 

Very nice find! A true cinderella story. If I didn't see your previous thread and this photo, I'd think it was a fish tale.
