<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2194567, member: 15929&quot;]No. Not really. The price difference between a PR70 and a PR69 has always been significant and if PR69&#039;s were selling for hundreds, then these PR70&#039;s will certainly change that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, its a very thin market with deep pocketed collectors assuming the risk for paying (and bidding) serious money for these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back when the Washington Presidential Dollars came out, everybody thought they had an MS67 until their grades came back. One fellow paid $1600+ for a solitary MS67 and took some serious flack for it. Until he sold it for a couple of grand. I can&#039;t find the thread but those coins were REALLY expensive. On a high note, a 2007-D Pos B sold for $5,000 Nov 1st, 2007. Today? $2150</p><p><br /></p><p>On Mar 1st, 2008, an Adams Dollar in MS67 sold for $10,000. Today? $6500</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, these are PCGS Price guide numbers and PCGS is notorious for protecting the &quot;pricing&quot; information projected by their Authorized Coin Dealers. So much so, that its possible (at least for me) to pay $12 for a coin listed at $215. ($250 at the time I bought it in an open Auction.)</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m saying is that prices paid &quot;today&quot; mean nothing in the long run because once the market is satisfied, the buyers go away and nobody want them any longer.</p><p><br /></p><p>For that matter, I could sell my Entire FDI Presidential Dollar Set for literally nickels on the dollar regardless of what the Price Guide States.</p><p>I had one coin with a Price Guide Value of $700. I listed it for $195 for years on eBay and finally accepted an offer of $150.</p><p><br /></p><p>The market is extremely thin regardless of what you see today as today&#039;s prices are simple fantasy with no lasting, sustained value.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s the way the Modern Coin Market works. Strike while the iron is hot because eventually, that iron cools off! Then you&#039;re stuck........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
