Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 70860)

The 1998-S Cent is part of a series of Lincoln obverse, Memorial reverse coins struck from 1959-2008. The specific variety is Close AM. Struck in San Francisco and designated as a Proof (PR) strike, this coin is made of Copper-plated zinc from a mintage of 2,086,507 struck.
The 1998-S Close AM proof Lincoln cent was accidentally struck with a business-strike die, which at that time ordinarily exhibited the letters A and M of the word AMERICA virtually touching each other at their bases. Fewer than 100 examples of this variety are known, and due to scarce supplies and high demand, examples easily command hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars. A similar error was created the following year, when some 1999-S proof cents were produced using a 1999 business-strike reverse die.
Obverse: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portait and the date postioned on the right side.
Reverse: Lincoln memorial building centered with words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on top and bottom periphery. E PLURIBUS UNUM centered above the top of the memorial.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
