<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1633088, member: 15929&quot;]Kinda pointless IMO since the price is not sustainable as its more or less a one time PCGS Registry Purchase. Any published prices will simply go down as the population increase. And they will increase regardless of what some folks feel that they &quot;know&quot;. For that matter, even if they don&#039;t increase, interest in the sets is limited to fewer than 5 folks who would be willing to pay $1,600 just to sustain their positions &quot;in the registry&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Imagine what would happen to the prices if PCGS dropped the Presidential Dollars Registry Sets?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an MS68 Monroe (1 of 6) that used to have a price of $3,000 associated with it but I couldn&#039;t get $200 for it since of the 6 that have been graded, only 5 people wanted them enough to pay that kind of money and they already have theirs. BTW, the price for the coin has dropped to $2,250. Why? Because those that wanted one already have one. </p><p><br /></p><p>The prices reflected in the PCGS Price Guide are not based upon &quot;consistent sales&quot; but are only PCGS Authorized Dealer reports of prices they got from folks with the &quot;fever&quot; that are building or sustaining a Registry Set. These are &quot;DEALER ASKING Prices&quot; in a &quot;DEALER CREATED MARKET&quot; and in no way reflect the real Coin Market.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a good example:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]233739.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I am sooooo glad I didn&#039;t buy this one when oit first came out but instead chose to wait for it to show up in a &quot;public auction&quot;. I have several more of these &quot;High Dollar&quot; presidential coins in my stable that have literally bled soooo much money that I don&#039;t even think about it anymore. If I did, I&#039;d just go crazy.</p><p><br /></p><p>How about a 2008-D John Quincy Adams thats &quot;registry valued&quot; at $600. I couldn&#039;t sell that one for $250 since the folks that wanted one, already have one. I&#039;ve had that coin up for sale in my eBay store for better than a year with a $350 BIN or Make Offer. The listing is automatically set up to accept any offer of at least $250 and to automatically reject any offer lower than $200. No big deal though since I have NEVER received ANY type of offer for the coin. NONE! NARA! Can I honestly state that its worth $600? Absolutely not. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now if someone can sell one of thse for $1,600 then great but stating that they have a &quot;value&quot; of $1,600 is simply bogus claim which cannot be backed up by &quot;consistent public sales&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>A Morgan Dollar will ALWAYS be worth silver melt.</p><p>An MS67 Morgan Dollar, on the pther hand, will ALWAYS be worth 5 full figures.
