<p>[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 214625, member: 705"]Yep---in fact, most dealers sell at BID and buy at about 15% less than BID. For HOT items like maybe a 1909-S VDB you might have to offer ASK and maybe even alittle more...but for other things such as Mint Sets you might offer less. I've found that at least around here not many people collect Mint Sets....so if you buy them you pretty much have them for along time....so when buying Mint Sets I try to get them cheaper than BID.</p><p>I'm not much of a Morgan Dollar collector so I can't answer your question and be 100% sure. But I took a look at the POP reports at NGC, and see that they have graded over 1400 MS62.

Also--you really have to take a look at each date...and not only dates but mintmarks.... Take a 1881-S dollar....in MS65 it isn't worth alot...because that date and mintmark is KNOWN for a strong strike....the detail is always really great....but take an 1901-O dollar and if you got it graded MS65 you might really have something.....becuase most O mint mark dollars have a week strike...the detail isn't that good on the O mints and so sometimes they grade lower.
