<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1364607, member: 112&quot;]This is what PCGS says - </p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;WHAT DO PCGS PRICES MEAN?</i></p><p><i>The prices listed in the PCGS Price Guide are average dealer asking prices for PCGS-graded coins. The prices are compiled from various sources including dealer ads in trade papers, dealer fixed price lists and website offerings, significant auctions, and activity at major coin shows. Dealer specialists and expert collectors provide pricing input. Remember that the prices are just a guide, a starting point for asserting value. <u>Some PCGS coins sell for less than the prices listed and some PCGS coins sell for more than the prices listed.</u> &quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>All I have access to is the free stuff, but some examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>1887-S Morgan MS64 - PCGS $675&nbsp;&nbsp; Heritage $575</p><p><br /></p><p>1880-S Morgan MS64 DMPL - PCGS $350&nbsp;&nbsp; Heritage, 5 auctions all within the past 60 days with prices ranging from $74 to $172.50</p><p><br /></p><p>Granted, you can find some coins where the price guide is in line with realized auction prices. You will find others for less and others for more. It&#039;s pretty much like PCGS says. But as a general rule I have always found more where the price guide is high than anything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would ask this question. PCGS says they compile their price guide based on dealer asking prices. Why then does David Hall Rare Coins pretty consistently offer coins for less than what is listed in the PCGS price guide ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
