Who has one of these Lincoln cents? During the Florida United Numismatists (FUN) convention in Orlando in January 2019 a coin auction was held. The pictured coin is a 1926-S Lincoln cent. It is from a collection owned by Mr. Jerald L. Martin. It has been certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as a Mint State 65 Red. For comparison’s sake Mr. Martin also owned a “legendary issue”, the Trent Boesen 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln cent in Mint State 67 Red which sold for $55,200 at the same auction. This particular 1926-S cent displays a full-strike as most cents at San Francisco mint used heavily worn dies. What was its selling price??? It sold for the astronomical price of $90,000.00.

City Manager Mark Stiles said it’s unclear if the courts will be ready for play this school year. “In order to play on these courts this season, we’re going to have to push pretty hard.

The Clinton School District is planning to kick-in around $175,000 for the project. However, that still needs School Board Approval.
