[QUOTE="Caleb, post: 2060371, member: 32795"]I don’t know if I can answer your question, I not sure if anyone really can answer your question. When trying to decipher the PCGS Price Guide, I believe it is more of an “art” then “fact” and sometimes I scratch my head and wonder if the author(s) of the Price Guide ever heard of the term “non-fiction”. I just checked our records and for the 1964-D FS-104 (DDO-004) graded and attributed by PCGS in MS65 plastic, we have $135 tied up in that coin. Really, it all comes down to supply versus demand and how badly someone wants to buy one or how quickly someone wants or has to sell. I also notice in the PCGS Price Guide that the 1972 FS-101 (DDO-001) in PCGS MS63 has a price of $140. In MS63, it is a pop one coin with zero better and the coin has never been sold so how did PCGS determine that it is only valued at $140? I know of at least two collectors who would pony up a minimum of $500 to buy the coin if it became available. I could give several other examples of the Price Guide being ridiculous high or low just within the Kennedy series but I think the point has been made. It looks like you picked up a nice looking coin and as long as you are happy with the price paid, that is all that matters ….. forget what the PCGS Price Guide says. If you really want to get an idea of the current value then check Heritage Auctions, Great Collections or eBay for past sales (but bear in mind that the last person to win the auction will probably not be competing for the next example to become available).[/QUOTE]
