<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3102470, member: 112&quot;]Howdy Paul - </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of things I&#039;d mention. First off, not a one of the price guides out there is worth the paper and ink it would take to print a single sheet of them. The values listed in them are worse than worthless. And I say worse because, well, your post is a good example - they grossly mislead people. And you&#039;re just looking for values, imagine if you were looking to buy a coin and used the values you find in the price guides. You could easy be out a lot of money. My point - the price guides can even be harmful, which puts them way beyond worthless in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just for giggles I looked up your coin on Heritage, they haven&#039;t even sold an &#039;87-S PR70 DCAM since 2011, and it went for $44 back then. And values have dropped considerably since then. They sold 3 ten coin lots of 70 DCAM dimes with the dates ranging from &#039;77-&#039;89, back in 2013 and one of them went for $282. So that&#039;s roughly $28 each per PR70 DCAM coin. And that tells me the prices you&#039;re seeing of $8-$20 asked on ebay, well they sound about right I&#039;d say. Basically it cost more to get the coins graded and slabbed than they are even worth. Which also explains why the biggest auction company in the world hasn&#039;t sold any in 5 years or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing I&#039;d mention is that PCGS all by itself has slabbed 646 1987-S dimes as PF70 DCAM. That makes &#039;em pretty dang common, and thus the values being what they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even in PR70 DCAM there are few moderns out there that are worth the cost of grading fees. Been that way for quite some time now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
