I noticed the other day that PCGS did not grade ANY MS70 on the Silver State quarters. Why is that? I noticed on the DCAM silver state quarters they did. Does anyone have a PCGS population report of how many DCAM 70 there is of each quarter? PCGS does not let you view the registry or pop report unless you pay a monthly fee... I also noticed some very HIGH pricing on the PCGS early P and D quarters for MS68 coins... Also, how about people on Ebay selling rolls of P and D quarters... any chances any of those might grade MS68 or higher? Thank you in advance for your replies, Eve
The SILVER state quarters were only issued as proofs and thus no mint state or MS designations exist (only PR or PF). TC
Sure, there's always a chance they'll grade high, as long as they're OBW (original bank wrapped) and not searched. There are a number of rolls on eBay that appear to be original.
Hi TopCatCoin, I did not understand your explanation. For example take the first Quarter Delaware 1999-D. The highest pcgs grade showing is ms68 at 8,750 dollars. Why is there not a ms69 or a ms70 grade found?
In your post you stated: "I noticed the other day that PCGS did not grade ANY MS70 on the Silver State quarters. Why is that? I noticed on the DCAM silver state quarters they did." I guess you were not referring to silver proofs in your question but the business strikes. There are probably no MS69 or MS70 on the business strikes (non-silver) because these are extremely rare grades for business strikes and you do not find that high quality once they are bagged, wrapped in rolls, etc. TC
Thank you for your response on that one... interesting. PCGS pop report. Anyone have that info on the DCAM quarters? Trying to see if they are worth collecting and if the prices will continue to rise on those. Eve
This pcgs link shows the quarters ms prices: http://www.pcgs.com/prices/PriceGui...P=1&c=720&title=Washington+50+States+Quarters Anyone have the pcgs pop list on the DCAM State quarters... most interested in: Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Louisianna - buying them as birthday coins for the kids and grand kids.
Check some other price resources for coin prices. Don't settle on what PCGS says a value for any coin they've graded is. This coin is only 11 years old, and certainly hasn't hit a numismatic premium in that short life span. If you look up Redbook, they don't have a MS-68 in their prices list in the 2009 issue, and even if they did you need to knock off 20% of their price to get a more accurate value.
A word of caution. Collect because you like what you see as opposed to collecting for profit. One must be very knowledgeable in order to profit in the coin genre. Splitting hairs with State Quarters just ain't gonna do it......
Yes, and I say my 4 year-old Town and Country is worth $50K, but do you really think I'll find someone who will fall for it? Try searching Teletrade or Heritage and you'll probably find auction prices way, way, way below the PCGS Suggested Price Guide.
Once again, trying to make rarities out of otherwise "common" coins.....You guys want to split hairs with commons? Go right ahead. I never bought the "hype".....
Actually, no. I'm showing the OP there are other price guides out there with different numbers on this coin.
For modern coins, more often than not the prices in the PCGS Price guide reflect what top registry owners have paid for coins. The prices can rise very quickly but take forever to come down. The prices also reflect relative rarities with accents on the word "relative". I remember a time when the 1999-D Georgia Quarter commanded $850 in MS67. When folks see those prices, they start searching a lot of quarters to come up with those coins. Find, Sell, Find, Sell and then along comes a 68 which makes the 67 seem less important and the prices start slipping. Literally every modern coin which is produced by the millions, is subject to being de-throned at some point in time and unless a collector has money to blow, they could be a bad investment. Not a bad collectible, but a bad "investment". Proof coins, on the otherhand are almost ALWAYS PR69DCAM or PR70DCAM coins anymore and the importance of that 70 rating just does not seem to be there. Look at the Boy Scout MS70 and PR70DCAM coins on eBay. Each can be picked up for less that $100 which speaks volumes toward the importance of that 70 grade for a modern coin. For "free" access to the PCGS Pop reports, all you need to do is own a PCGS slabbed coin and join the PCGS Registry. You'll be able to view current populations for any coin within the series that you own. Say you own a PR69DCAM New Jersey Clad Quarter. Join the registry (Its free) and add the cert number for your coin into your inventory. Entering that one coin should give you access to all the different registry set possibilities for a Washington Quarter and enable you to play "What If" scenario's which reveal actual populations. If you are not a Registry Participant and want to join, use this link: http://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/Default.aspx?sid=1968 That way I will get credit for referring you and earn points towards free gradings.
