Market Trends & Insights
The 1995 Lincoln Penny series seems to have some solid mid-tier error coins available. Most non-proof sales are centered around the MS-67 and MS-68 grades. For the best value, MS-65 is likely your best option, offering a good balance between price and marketability. There are very few sales of lower-tier MS-63 and MS-62 coins, so it may be wise to avoid those grades.
