<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pbryan, post: 320578, member: 10722&quot;]That is a nice New Orleans Morgan, and $50 isn&#039;t a bad deal, but I think you&#039;re misreading the pricing tools you have available to you...</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though it&#039;s not truly applicable to NGC coins, The PCGS guide for a 1899-O in MS-64 is $59 not $300...&nbsp; The prices go up for &#039;Proof Like&#039; (PL) and &#039;Deep Mirror Proof Like&#039; (DM or DMPL) Morgans.&nbsp; The coin in your photo has not been graded PL or DMPL.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, Auction sites like Heritage can be very good tools.&nbsp; But instead of searching through a bunch of different graded Morgans, you can usually find the same date and grade you are looking at, especially for common date coins...&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s an 1899-O NGC MS-64 up on Heritage right now.&nbsp; If you click on that coin, they will show you recent sales of the same date and grade.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the case of your 1899-0, the last 5 MS-64&#039;s on heritage have gone for between $39 and $70.15.&nbsp;&nbsp; Usually the subjective eye appeal of the coin will skew the price up or down within the same grade.&nbsp; (As they say buy the coin, not the holder).&nbsp;&nbsp; And since these are all sold as auctions, the prices will vary.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage also gives you a bunch of different price guide data to compare...</p><p><br /></p><p>And all of this is without even registering.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you do the free registration even more data is available...</p><p><br /></p><p>Check it here: <a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=28014&amp;Lot_No=24774#photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=28014&amp;Lot_No=24774#photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=28014&amp;Lot_No=24774#photo</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You can also learn a lot about the way coins are bought and sold just by watching some of these auctions without bidding...&nbsp;&nbsp; Seeing how much certain coins go for, based on what they look like, how they&#039;re graded, and date and mint marks...</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps,</p><p>--Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
