<p>[QUOTE=&quot;keh, post: 305011, member: 5238&quot;]I agree with most of the comments here. I am pretty decent at grading Morgans. I am getting several CC Morgans graded. They should fall&nbsp; in the MS63-65 range. I had some questions about my 1878 CC Morgan, which I posted in a separate thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have always been under the impression that PCGS graded coins tend to garner a higher price in the marketplace than a similarly graded NGC coin. I know this is a real hot button with the group. I am not trying to stir the pot! Curiosity got the best of me and it was a slow day at work today, so I went to the Heritage site and compiled data on some of the coins I&#039;m interested in selling. I grabbed all the data available in their archive and put it into an Access database. I grouped the data on grade, TPG, and average price. I posted the results on my website. <a href="http://www.steenracing.com/pics/keh/tpgpricecomparison.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.steenracing.com/pics/keh/tpgpricecomparison.htm" rel="nofollow">Click Here for Stats</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A couple trends jumped out at me:</p><p><br /></p><p>- ANACS dominates the lower grade coins, for obvious reasons</p><p>- Between MS60 - 64, NGC tends to dominate</p><p>- MS64-65 and above, PCGS dominates</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on these results, considering I expect my coins to fall into the MS63-65 range, NGC would give me the edge in price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, my statistical model my be a little too simplistic to give a precise view of what is going on in the marketplace. Many of the grade ranges have too few examples to draw a strong conclusion from. I didn&#039;t separate DMPL and PL coins from regular coins. This could skew the results, as there may be more DMPLs and PLs represented in one TPG&#039;s population over another. Also, the prices were avaeraged over all auctions, which span several years. Who knows what trends could emerge if I added a time element.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
