What's a fair price to ask for this 1914-D lincoln cent?

I'm posting this for a friend that is looking to sell off some of his coins. He has a TON of things you guys would LOVE! I told him that he should post up some of the gold and silver, but but he wants to test the waters with this one first.


What would be a fair price to ask for this? It does come with the certificate that comes with the grading.

Recently completed transactions (sales, not listings) for this coin on Ebay include the following:
VG 16 bids: $128; G 16 bids $96.50; Fine 18 bids $201; "Problem Free" 10 bids $135 and Fair: $80. At least one of those was certified, but not graded.

I graded your coin at about a AU53. I went through eBay and 3 coin books that I have at home. I believe the cost of the coin is from $60.00-$90.00.

That penny's closer to $500 in that condition.

You will note that some buy-it-now listings on eBay (for various products) are extremely high hoping to catch a uninformed novice with deep pockets. Those are fantasy prices...

A collector will pay the average rate listed by competent dealers...

By the way, If a seller discloses that he is selling for a 2nd party, I'd run like hell...but that's just me...

In what fantasy land is that coin AU-53? Also, in AU-53 where can I buy a 1914-D for $60-90?
