Any market left for 2012 cents?

[scyther]

I'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?

[jacer333]

I've been sitting on about 12 boxes of them for several months...gave up trying to sell them last week, cracked the rolls, and dumped all the shiny zincolns.

Have you checked the bay? That should give you an answer

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

Gotta love the FeeBay!

There never really was much of a market for them.......

[scyther]

Great. 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...

[slickeast]

The scratches on the ends of the rolls is from the crimping machine. The spots are some sort of lubrication that is used in the machines

I posted looking for 2011 and 2012's only reply was fast Eddie. I will be getting them tomorrow. What mint mark? Check buy/sell/ trade for original post or pm me

Give it a few years and the price might go up a bit. If you don't mind sitting on them for a while. Probably better things to do with the money though.

[thripp]

Just dump all of them, I did that. Didn't want to tie up even a couple hundred dollars on them.

I would think after a composition change or if they discontinue the penny, they might become more valuable and desirable.

but i could be wrong

Hi 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....!
