Here's mine:

 

 

1919-S Lincoln Cent NGC VG-8 BN

 

Current Value: 37 cents (up from 35 cents in July of 2013).

 

Acquired for the scarce slab type. No idea why someone sent it in for grading, unless they had poor eyesight and mistook it for a 1909-S.

I will play

 

 

I only aquire unc 09-20 wheats and I like em toned (or sometimes just bn)

[Mr. Smith Guesser]

I buy a lot of slabbed Roosevelts in lots and end up with coins like this:

NGC price guide = $11.25

 

Typically, I'll either try to resell coins like this or, probably more often, just use them as a free bonus for buyers who purchase higher priced coins.

, how much did you paid for it?

[Coin Trader]

My records show that I paid $5.65 for the coin in April of 2012.

 

An excellent example of a coin that's permanently entombed.

Mine isn't a really cheap coin but it is VERY cheap in a relative sense.

 

I bought this one on Collectors Corner (first time purchase) for 220. I thought it was an outstanding deal given the strike, luster and toning.

 

I once saw a 65 with color offered for 500---this one is a 66!

 

Getting away from the early dates is such a pleasure as you can find some beautiful, quality material for very little money!!

This is mine......

 

 

 

The story? I found this one in my pocket change in '89. I THOUGHT I saw doubling on the reverse (hard to see in the pics), so had it submitted thinking I found a new variety. I got it back with a note attached stating something along the lines "the doubling seen on the reverse is due to worn dies". So, I still have it as an educational piece, and to remind me to make sure what I have is worth submitting. Today's value as per NGC, $0.69!!!!!!

Cool and funny

 

I once found a 1980 1 DDO and thought it was machine doubled and through it in a jar with other machine doubles.

 

Luckily I found a post about the 80 ddo and dug it back out. It was a pretty cool cent although circulated and enviormentally damaged.
