[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 3603203, member: 59677"]Anyway, we've had our fun and [USER=89393]@LA_Geezer[/USER] has brought us back to the original question. There are many ways to approximate the value of a coin... For common (almost commodity) items, eBay sold (not just listed) prices are a good indicator. So for an uncertified '21 Morgan: [URL]https://www.ebay.com/b/Philadelphia-Uncertified-1921-Year-Morgan-US-Dollars-1878-1921/39464/bn_113374049?rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc[/URL] You'll see a lot of sales for nicer coins in the $15 - $20 range. There are prices guides, but you need to understand their bias and what they mean. Both PCGS and NGC publish them, but they are only valid for the associated plastic (if that even) and they seem to be a little proud of their holder. For example: [URL]https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/morgan-dollars-1878-1921-pscid-49/1921-morgan-1-ms-coinid-17296[/URL] where they have a VG for $22... back to fleaBay? No comparable sales. There are also online price guides. This one [URL]https://www.greysheet.com/coin-prices/item?entryid=7600[/URL] is from the people who publish the wholesale greysheet. It's a retail guide, i.e. what you would expect to pay in a decent but not upscale coin shop. Says $23. That too seems a little high, since BU coins are selling on eBay for less.
