    Don't believe everything you read, Ruth. When I was actively buying Mint bags of State Quarter business strikes to find high grades to submit for grading, those that graded MS67 were usually worth less than the cost of grading them. As a matter of fact, I still have 15 of the 2005 CA SQ's NGC MS67 that I give away to YN's from time to time. ~ Chris

    Ok. So I need Ms grade quality in ALL coins old or new. I guess I thought that there weren't a whole lot of certain mints no matter quality. I was very wrong. My mother didn't collect anything except coins that were new and sealed in pkg. And old. I never knew why the PKG until now. But atleast I know I'll probably have to invest in excelent

    I'll dig thru my coins and select the best I have. Maybe one will be of decent value. I know it's not just about that but I need it. I'll throw the scraped ones aside. Y'all are awesome and patient. Thanks

    Thank you. I'll still hold one of them as my first good quality coin and let it be my baseline . Only save better.

    If you need money, coin collecting will have the opposite effect. You will absolutely not make any money off of pocket change. You have a better chance playing the lotto (don’t do that) than finding a coin worth significant money in your change or bank rolls.

    $9.99 to $16.50 each if you check SOLD eBay auctions for certified, slabbed examples ...
    https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...r+ms67&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1

    So you *could* pay $2,000 for one if you want ... but you might not like the "return on investment" of that purchase.

    It's always buyer beware out there. TV shows will inflate prices as much as possible, certain websites also inflate prices. But most people search for anything (clothes, appliances, electronics, internet service, cell phone service, cars/trucks, etc) for the lowest price out there.

    I recommend extensive searching for information and prices as there are many clickbait websites.

    If you find a website with a few paragraphs surrounded by advertisements I recommend never using that web address again and you'll start to find that the information you find becomes more accurate, although not as exciting.

    If you compare prices of websites to, as example Sold auctions on eBay you'll find your research becomes more accurate, although not as exciting.

    I wonder what website you saw that $2k ??
    please don't say etsy, pinterest or other similar websites ... those are to be avoided like the plague until you know what you are looking at.

    Certain ultra high MS graded modern coins command high prices because they are very few known. These coins will have full strikes and practically no noticeable imperfections or marks. It would be very unusual to find one of these coins in rolls from the bank. The handling and rolling process creates small marks as the coins hit each other in bags and equipment. Those small marks are enough to turn a $100 coin into a $1 coin.


    It takes a lot of experience studying ultra high grade coins to determine the difference between an MS67 and MS68. I don’t mean to be discouraging, but it’s highly unlikely you’re going to find a condition rarity in a roll. However, I do recommend going through your coins and picking out the nicest examples with the least number of marks and save them for your Album set.

    I just looked at eBay link u sent and wow.im still excited to have a nice quarter. I know it's silly but I am. I don't mind the low value right now. It's still just the first step. Maybe one day I will be a grader or some educated big wig. Lol. Knowledge is perfect.

    The one problem with price lists is you do not know at what time that price was listed; and updated, if ever.

    For instance, if a new coin comes out and a MS68 example is found, it could sell for $2,000. 6 months later when hundreds more of MS68 examples are found and demand is dwindling that same coin/grade can sell for $50; 12 more months and the price can drop to $16. This is a very common phenomenon - initial price spikes then quickly dwindling price.

    That is why eBay is so handy .. you can check what is the prices "now", not at some unknown time in the past.

    So that MS68 $2,150 price could be 15 years old.

    You don't need MS quality (although it would be great) for older coins, especially 18th, 19th, and early 20th century coins. There's a saying "Buy the Best You Can Afford". Some coins graded G 4 can go for thousands of dollars. MS 60 for 10's and even 100's of thousands of dollars. :)

    Be careful of You Tube videos too, most of them are a waste of time and effort and have very bad information. The Redbook of US Coins is a great resource to learn about coins along with some educational websites for varieties, errors and the minting process. Auction houses like Heritage, Great Collections and a few others are free to use and you can see many coins and prices they have sold for. Good luck!
