[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 39362, member: 669"]You've got a winner my friend! :D It's not "still" in packaging. It has been graded as a 66, on a scale of 60-70, (generally considered to be a very high grade) by one of the highest regarded independent grading services. I have verified the serial number on your "slab" with the PCGS data base, and it checks out. As I said earlier, grade is all important for a coin like that. The PCGS guide, which is generally considered to be high retail, values an MS60 at $350, an MS63 at, $875, and an MS66 at $3,000. :) The highest grade they list is MS67, and it's shown as $6,250. I don't have access to the PCGS "Pop Report", so I can't tell you how many of the 160,960 1804 quarter eagles have received equal or higher grades. Perhaps someone will come across this thread who can access that information for you. Pawn shops are [i]not[/i] a good place to dispose of such a coin. You would be lucky to get $750 from a pawnshop. EBay is a much better choice, if you are an experienced seller who can post clear photos of [i]the coin you are selling[/i]. Otherwise, a visit to some coin shops in your vicinity is in order. Don't take any offer until you have shopped it around a bit.
