I just received my latest issue of Coin World with the monthly values insert. I cannot believe the jump in value some early Lincolns have taken in just one month. Some have more than doubled! Here's a random sampling (the first price is the October value, the second the Nov. value, all quotes are for "Good" condition coins):
1909-S $85/$110
1910-S $9/$17
1911-S $20/$30
1912-S $14/$25
1913-S $7/$15 [red](+114%!)[/red]
1914-D $175/$250
1914-S $14/$25
1915-S $9/$20 [red](+122%!)[/red]
1922 Plain $550/$750
1924-D $18/$40 [red](+122%!)[/red]
1931-S $70/$125
Anyone who has watched Lincoln prices over the years knows that fluctuations this drastic are unheard of. I wonder if this is an honest reflection of a series that hasn't significantly risen in value in decades or a cagey marketing ploy by hobbyists who foresee renewed interest when the series reaches its centennial in 2009. What do you think? Might be a good idea to delve into penny boxes more often!
