Title: Is it true.
Post by: Possie Ron on March 17, 2013, 07:13:34 PM
I just hear something that a 1968 2c is a bit of a rarity. Genuine question. Is it.(//%5Burl=http://www.flickr.com/photos/93692018@N07/8564706280/%5D%5Bimg%5Dhttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8091/8564706280_78426fbfd7_z.jpg)[/url][/img]

Theyre quite hard to find in bulk lots. Yours is probably worth in the $5-10 range. 1969 is lower mintage but just doesnt have the interest.

Not rare, but comands a hefty premium as enworb has stated.
Unc ones are very scarce, Huge premium.
There was no mint set or mint rolls available in 1968.

I have only ever found 2 UNC ones from a bulk lot. Almost all of the others had no lustre and were pretty average. Ive found and sold over 300 of these little buggers and they have funded quite a few of my coin purchases. They were one of the first coins i started hoarding and then selling.

You mention the lower mint of 69s Just found one of them too. It needs saving from the junk though. The reverse is clean.I just had about $4 in 1c & 2c. in a take away food container.
