<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brien Kroeger, post: 2338783, member: 77219&quot;]New here today.. Howdy folks!&nbsp; My Name is Brien</p><p><br /></p><p>I not new new to&nbsp; collecting but I am new to thinking about the value of some of my coins.&nbsp; I have over 10 years of&nbsp; collecting and I am just beginning to think about the value.&nbsp; Much of what I have is Graded and Slabbed so I have no problem looking values up in books and then notching that back by about 20%</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a simple question;&nbsp; Why does&nbsp; the 69th Edition of the US Coins, 2016 by Bressett, show values of Morgan Silver Dollars in the MS 60, MS 63 MS 64, MS 65 and then jump to PF 63?&nbsp; Why don&#039;t hey list MS 62 or the MS 66 ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a 1891 Morgan slabbed and marked NCG&nbsp; MS 66.&nbsp; Now the MS 64 is listed @ $900, the MS 65 @ $8000, and then they only list the PF 63 @ $3000?&nbsp; What happened to the MS 66?&nbsp; Does MS 66 mean it is one Mint State above 65 making it more valuable than the $8000 ?&nbsp; Or is this MS 66&nbsp; a bogus rating by this NCG.&nbsp; Or is worth less than the MS 65 going down in value as it shows in the PF rating?</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, on the reverse of the slab it states:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Guaranteed Authentic&quot;&nbsp; &quot;Graded to the Numismatic Coin Guarantee Standards&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>But it doesn&#039;t say who graded this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question here is Who guarantees this?&nbsp; Slab doesn&#039;t say at all.&nbsp; This whole grade value here seems to me to be somewhat suspect.&nbsp; Who is to say it isn&#039;t MS 65?&nbsp; Should I have it graded by a more reputable/reliable group such as Numismatic Guarantee Corporation, as many of my other coins read on their slabs?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just what does MS 66 mean anyway?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for any thoughts you may provide here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
