Carl J. Unger (1942–2020) grew up on the streets of Chicago collecting baseball cards and later, Gem Morgan dollars and type coins. He says in the introduction to his "Abe's Coloring Book" Toned Lincoln, Wheat Cents PCGS Registry Set (which he retired in the #1 All-Time Finest position in 2019), that "I always had a sweet spot for Lincolns, especially the ones with color." Carl was an old-school gentleman whose principles I try to emulate. His word was as good as gold. We traded many coins—mostly me buying from him—and trusted each other completely. We both knew our word was as good as our checks and our coins, and never had a problem.
When Carl retired his set, I was already seriously into assembling my own Toned Lincolns Wheat Cent Registry Sets, and I bought hand over fist as many of his pieces as I could. We will soon retire our two sets, ranked #4 and #8 All-Time Finest. Those sets still include many of Carl's gorgeously toned Lincoln cents. We thought we would feature them here, in memory of a true numismatist, family man, and a fine gentleman.
These cents formerly in Carl's "Abe's Coloring Book" set are currently in the VDB Collection consignments at Great Collections auctions ending Sept. 1st, 8th, and 15th. (Or else they are in GC auctions following soon after.) While we have sold a few of his finest coins privately, it is noteworthy that now, even five years later, many of his coins have never been surpassed in quality or beauty.

- It’s completely dependent on the grade. If it’s fully red, but a low UNCIRCULATED grade, a dealer would likely sell one for only $3 - $6. If it’s graded MS65 RED, they would sell it for about $24. If it’s one of the few graded MS67 RED (only around 50 or so are in that super high condition), dealers would sell it for about $525. And if it’s one of about 10 graded even higher, that would sell for roughly $10,000. However, if the coin is deemed to be less than 95% red, or if it’s worn, you’re probably looking at less than a dollar.
If it’s a Proof coin, AND Red AND UNCIRCULATED, then a dealer would sell one for roughly $7 - $25 or so, depending on the grade.

View previous replies- dusti11g Probably only melt for the dime, roughly $2. For the Lincoln, probably less than $1. I suggest you bring all of it to a local coin shop, where they can see all of your coins much clearer, and in better lighting conditions. You should buy what’s known as a “Red Book”, so you can then determine the answers for yourself. The 2025 version just came out about two weeks ago.
