Coin Collecting NewsRed Lincolns are Hotter than Gold! - David Lawrence’s Internet Auction Results
(Virginia Beach, VA) – David Lawrence’s Internet Auction #199 highlighted by the Magnolia Collection of Lincoln Cents realized over $296,000! The online sale closed on November 29 with hundreds of bidders competing for the Registry-quality Lincoln cents, among other certified U.S. and world coinage.
These popular Registry-quality coins were highly contested, and we were surprised by the bidding activity with 245 lots sold in the 5-day event.
Noteworthy highlights include (all prices include 15% buyer’s premium):
1909 1c PCGS MS67 RD $ 4313.
1911-D 1c PCGS MS66 RD $ 10,953.
1915 1c PCGS MS67 RD $ 21,883.
1919-D 1c PCGS MS65 RD $ 5,980.
1921 1c PCGS MS66 RD $ 3,220.
1943-S 1c PCGS MS68 $ 3,220.
1957-D 1c PCGS MS67 RD $ 4,945.
Both the consignor and buyers were elated by the results of this sale. To view a complete listing of auction #199 results please visit our web site. In addition to these results, a 1792 half disme PCGS AU55 and 1892-S Morgan $1 PCGS MS65 sold in post-auction trading — both well into six figures meaning the true volume of the event was over $600,000.
According to John Feigenbaum, President of David Lawrence, “this sale was truly exciting for us because it brought together all the facts of our auction platform that we have been working on for the past two years. The consignor was able to sell his coins for top dollar and the coins were sold less than two weeks after the original consignment! Internet bidding is fast taking over this area of the market and we are working every day to lead the charge.”
In fact, the consignor of Lincolns was so impressed that he has consigned the balance of his Red Lincoln Collection (all PCGS graded!) for the Magnolia Sale, Part II which will open for bidding on Friday, December 14 (close on Dec. 20).
