Keep in mind that NGC and PCGS MS64's are available for $50 or less and 63's for $40 or less.   07-13-2009, 09:41 PM   #5 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,392 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Mark Feld That's too much for an uncertified 63.

A slab shouldn't make the difference on a coins value, if it is the same coin looking coin certified or not, I'd say $35 maybe up to $40. (Maybe an exception for key dates) Does a coin being in a piece of plastic make it more valuable too? Once you take it out of that plastic, its value plummets, so what are we talking about here, the price of a coin, or plastic? __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-13-2009, 09:46 PM   #6 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,451 Blog Entries: 1 I've had cake on a First Family's private china, it's still cake. __________________   07-13-2009, 09:46 PM   #7 (permalink) Mark Feld Rare coin dealer     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: San Diego Posts: 1,686 Quote: Originally Posted by tmoneyeagles A slab shouldn't make the difference on a coins value, if it is the same coin looking coin certified or not, I'd say $35 maybe up to $40.

Maybe a slab shouldn't make a difference, but far more times than not, it does. And if someone can buy a slabbed MS63 for $40, it's probably not a good idea to pay the same amount for an uncertified one. Especially since there is a chance that they might overlook cleaning or some other problem on the latter.   07-07-2009, 10:00 PM   #8 (permalink) the_man12 Amateur Photographer     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 2,955 My Mood: Good thanks! __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   07-13-2009, 06:48 PM   #9 (permalink) the_man12 Amateur Photographer     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 2,955 My Mood: Well this auction shows that I got a good deal: http://cgi.ebay.com/1885-O-Morgan-Si...3%3A1|294%3A25 __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   07-13-2009, 06:52 PM   #10 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,451 Blog Entries: 1 you did. __________________   07-13-2009, 09:44 PM   #11 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,392 My Mood: I'd say the coin is a nice $30-$40 coin, just my opinion. It depends on the collector, you mentioned PCGS and NGC examples going for that price. Well, if a collector just liked raw coins, they would have no problem paying $30-$35 for a MS63 raw morgan, and if people are doing registry sets (like myself) they should have no problem paying a little extra, due to the fact it is in a slab, so I wouldn't have to get it graded myself, it saves me money and time. __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   Page 5 of 5 < 1 2 3 4 5 Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
