What’s likely the highest-quality collection of Lincoln Head Cents ever assembled, 286 coins, has been auctioned for a record $7,731,811 by GreatCollections, one of the world’s leading rare coin auctioneers based in Irvine, California.
The January online auction was like a frenzied treasure hunt that shattered all-time world records, including the first Lincoln Head Cent to break the million-dollar mark. Thirteen other Lincoln Head Cents realized over $100,000 each, a remarkable milestone for the coin industry.
