Any market left for 2012 cents?
Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 2:06 pmI'm pretty sure the answer is no but just in case. I have three boxes of what appear to be pure 2012 cents. Any reason to keep them?

I did a quick ebay history search. After fees (if they sell) you might make $2.00
Someone sold 3 boxes in a lot for ...............wait for it.................................................$76.
Yup $1.00 over face. He lost money after paying fees

Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 5:05 pmGreat. I'll probably keep a couple rolls just for heck of it but I'm not keeping whole boxes now.
What I don't get is how this seemingly uncirculated coins have so many spots and scratches on them. A few even had some water or some other type of stickyness on them. Weird...

but i could be wrong

Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2013 4:13 pmHi all-
JMO, JMO- Cents are still made by the carload and there was a lot of hype (at least as much hype as coins get now) about the new cents, so I bet a crapton were saved. I'm sure they'll be worth something in 2112, but not sure about now...
My best day with modern cents was when I sold 4 boxes of the Lincoln log cabin cents in 2009 for a $500 profit!! Dunno what the prices on those have done since then....!
