[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3085578, member: 112"]Norm what you need to realize, or should I say learn, is that price guides are worthless. Worse than worthless even for they do to many folks exactly what they have done to you - they completely distort reality. For example, you mentioned your '87 in 66 sold for $192.89 - that is right in line with the current, real world, value of that coin. About $10 low but right in line. You also need to realize what has been happening to Morgan dollar values over the last 10 years. This graph will illustrate that for you. [IMG]https://www.pcgs.com/PCGSMedia/graphs/mpeace10graph.gif[/IMG] The values of Morgan dollars in general are currently lower than they have been since 1998. So did you use the wrong venue ? No. Are you an idiot ? No, just uneducated. But perhaps more importantly - misled into believing something that is patently untrue by using a bad source for values.[/QUOTE]
