<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2768956, member: 78244&quot;]By that I mean I see nothing special about them other than their uber-high grade and stellar eye appeal. I prefer coins with interesting stories and beautiful designs over common coins with stunning preservation. I acknowledge that there are many individuals who will pay up for the best-of-the-best coins. I am not one of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I like rainbow-toned Morgans. They are pretty, but I could never convince myself to pay a premium for one. I eventually found one for sale for a little over melt, and I happily bought it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]638043[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Fair enough.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And I don&#039;t deal with them. I never have. My comment was if I pretended that I set up shop at a coin show tomorrow with my current abilities, experience, and interests. If I had been a dealer for 10 years, I may have had a different outlook.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These coins are so subjective in value that they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. Take the MS-67+ quarter in the other thread. NGC said it was worth $7000. I would not have paid that, and judging from the auction result, no one else would have either. Yet in cases like your nickel, you were willing to pay $253 while NGC said it was worth $90. Now PCGS says it is worth $900. There is no way to tell for sure. The PCGS price guide often gives a good idea of what the market it willing to pay (though usually a bit high). </p><p><br /></p><p>And, to be honest, I don&#039;t know what my Morgan is worth, and I have had it for over six months. It was worth more than $17 to me, so I bought it. It was worth more than $60 to a dealer, so he offered $60. It was worth at least $140 to PCGS, so they called it MS-65. Is it worth more than $140 to someone else? Probably. But until it sells, I have no idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
