I have a 1953-Jefferson MS-67 , graded by ICG ... would anybody know, just how much of a price diff/ would-be, since it wasn't slabbed by PCGS or NGC ? it was listed as a buy it now for $ 200... I put a offer- on it for $100 an Won ! :kewl: So.... this really has my curiosity up , an hope I got a fairly,reasonable price on it . hya: The Rare-Coin Market-Report Magazine/May-08' only goes to MS-66 ? I wonder why ? Any help on this , would be most appreciative/thanks'! chasindreams
You really need to join Heritage (free) so you can re-search their past auctions and what coins have sold for. As it has been said over and over again on this forum---buy the coin not the slab. It really shouldn't matter who graded it....just what is the coin worth. Sadly since some companies tend to overgrade we often look at the slab. Heritage has no record of any in that grade ever coming to auction. So what we can do is look at 66 prices. The last one that sold went for $45. They have gone as low as $20-$373. Coins with FS's have gone for much more than that. If you can, post some pic's of the coin....then we can maybe at least tell you what the coin would grade, and a closer idea to the value. Speedy
Chasin, The population of the 1953 Jefferson Nickel MS66 is 85/5 with all five examples with the MS67 graded by NGC. The 1953 Jefferson MS67 is one of those coins that if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it. Your ICG MS67 is most likely an MS66 in an NGC slab or even an MS65 in a PCGS slab. Now here is where it gets interesting. If your coin is an NGC MS66 or a PCGS MS65, you probably overpaid a little. But if it makes a PCGS MS66, you got a great deal. The problem is that you would have to crack it out and send it to PCGS to find out. Gamble-Gamble! BTW, I would stay away from non PCGS or NGC coins for this particular series.
