<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mint Mark, post: 3424955, member: 3321&quot;]About ten years ago, I went on a bit of a buying binge seeking out PCGS &quot;old green holder&quot; coins. Mostly Morgan dollars, but not entirely. Like many collectors, I held (I still do, actually) the belief that these older slabs are worth more than a coin of the same grade in a newer holder. The question is, &quot;How MUCH more are they worth?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I am considering selling a good bit of my collection. It&#039;s not like I have that many of them; a couple of dozen. Most are MS64 common-date Morgans. These same dates seem to be worth roughly double in MS65 as compared to MS64. So I was thinking about asking, say, a 25 percent premium. In other words, Numismedia FMV for an 1881-S MS64 is $65. In MS65, that same date is $125. I was thinking of asking $80 for it. Easy enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I have several OGH coins with much greater pricing disparities between the current grade and the next one higher. For instance, I have a 1964 PF69 Kennedy. FMV for PF69 is $110. However, PF70 is $1250. What do I do with this one? Should I crack it out, resubmit it, and hope for a PF70? Perhaps. Using my 25 percent premium formula, we&#039;re only talking ~$140.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got an 1884-CC MS66 Morgan and two PF68 1960 Franklins with similar differences in value (6-8 times) between the coin as graded and the next higher grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d just as soon sell these coins as they are. Then again, I&#039;m not in that big of a hurry and it&#039;s not like I really need the money. Is resubmitting them a long shot? Or is it worth a crack (no pun intended)?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
