<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1613070, member: 15929&quot;]First off, the PCGS Price Guide should be taken with a grain of salt in that the prices, in some instances, are super low for actual prices paid. On the other hand, they are SUPER high, in some instances, compared to ACTUAL prices paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Auction results CAN and often do vary significantly due to the fact that not EVERYBODY is participating in the auction. Some auctions get missed and as such, seemingly expensive coins get purchased at highway robbery prices. I personally know of one fella that purchased an intact, 1941 PROOF Set, for less than $60! Why? Simple. The seller listed it as a &quot;Mint Set&quot; Should that sale affect the overall price of 1941 Proof Sets?</p><p><br /></p><p>I myself purchased a trio of Kennedy Varieties for $27 which I knew to have significant more value. Matter of fact, near the listings close, I upped my final bid to $250 but....................since not everybody was participating, won it at an absolute steal. One of the three coins was sold, almost immediatly, for $500+</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, back to the Kennedy&#039;s. The ONLY reason that PR70DCAM Kennedy&#039;s have any kind of value is because of the slab. Take the coin out of the slab, as dumb as that is, and ANY value is immediately lost!</p><p><br /></p><p>The value in the slab can be directly related back to the Registry Sets because quite frankly, if the owner of the coin is not participating in the registry, beit PCGS or NGC, then they might as well have purchased a PR69DCAM.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for L&amp;C&#039;s PR70DCAM&#039;s on eBay, just the fact that you&#039;ve mentioned the listings, has ineffect, guaranteed that L&amp;C will see some sizeable profits over and above what they might have otherwise seen. I konw that I&#039;ll now be watching those listings.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a side note, if YOU ever want to get a reasonable score off of eBay, never, ever, ever, post about an active auction that you plan to bid on as you will attract some serious competition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
