What would make someone think......

Post Mon Apr 09, 2012 1:25 pm

What would make someone think that a 1943 (possibly cleaned) NACGS (never heard of) slabbed steel cent would be worth $1,013.95? Can it be that the person has never seen a steel cent, the grading service/slab is the best authenticator, or the person is really a noob?

Rigo gave a 1943 steel beauty to Sage. I'll tell her to get it graded. :-*

Yea, Numismedia lists a MS68 at $1,110, and a MS67 at $110, then a MS66 is $43.20. The listing says it is discounted to $999, gee only about 20+ times what it is really worth.
