Yep, conditional rarity.

 

MS65 examples are common. MS66 examples are rare.

 

Ok. Explain this one.

The type II is the rarity right?

 

A bit of wishful thinking. 1972Ds graded 66 by NGC have been selling for less than $100. They can typically be had for $70-$90.

 

The type II is the rarity in sheer numbers minted, but you are confusing rarity in numbers minted with rarity in numbers graded a particular grade.

 

And this one

The BU and Proof Silvers were prepared for collectors, not like business strikes. The BU Silvers tend to run lower in grade because they were collected in a hopper and packaged with cellophane (Blue Pack Ikes). One of the early years, 71/72 in a 68 would be a white whale. But a proof Silver Ike (Brown pack Ike) in 68 would be worth melt or a bit above. Normally those are found in 69DCAM. 70s are rare for those.

Again, conditional rarity is the key. How many were made and how well. What was the attrition rate, aka how many survived. And finally, what do they grade as a date/mm and what's that population considering the total mintage. Some date/mm are common as can be, but a 1972 Type 2 Ike in MS-66 is at least a 4 figure coin. A 71-P Ike in MS-65 is a shade under $100, for examples.

 

I don't know. Every where I look the Type III is valued at around $950 in a MS66. But prices asked are 3 times that.

 

Where are you looking? The last PCGS 66 example on Heritage sold for $2820 back on January 9th.

 

Red Book is great for beginning out and general info. For prices, not so much except for a guide, ex: seeing where conditional rarity breaks in prices are. To glean a better idea of the market for a certain coin, a better guide might be the free Numismedia FMV guide found here. For example, a 1972-P Type 3 Ike shows @ 1410 in their price guide at MS-66 level. That is a better indication of value for a guide.

In the long run, the best places to find specifics would be completed Ebay auctions or BIN listings where an item actually sold. Heritage Auctions, as mentioned before, is a great tool as well. You can join for free and this allows you not only to find past auction prices, but for specific lots, you can see the NGC/PCGS population data and prices that normally might require a membership to access. Moreover, Heritage provides high resolution photos of lots so you can hone your grading skills and understand certain grades, problems, nomenclature, etc.

I hope this helps answer "what am I missing"

Thanks. This I know for a fact: The more I think I know, the less I do.

Edit to add this: Is the Blue Book that far off on their values?

 

I wouldn't, and don't, put all my stock in one auction. There were 2 guys that wanted that coin really bad and now one of them has one and the other one obviously didn't think it was worth that.

 

I don't put all of my stock on one auction either; that's just the most recent sell that I could find. If you look at the auction archives for PCGS MS66 type 3s I don't think your going to find one that sold for $950.

 

I have a 77d ike with a hair lip. Dose is this out side of the mint damage or something else
