[QUOTE="cdcda, post: 10983, member: 941"]First, we need to acknowledge that prices guides are just that - guides. That being said, generall speaking the PCGS guide is going to provide prices that are a little higher than average. The COINS magazine by comparison is usually slow to reflect price trends in the market. So, in the case of the Morgans - which have heated up over the last year - the 1879-S in MS65 would normally sell for around $120 - $140. Having the coin encapsulated in a PCGS holder does not affect the price of the coin. It will however, add credence to the grade of the coin. In other words, if you call the coin an MS65 some prospective purchasers may be hesitant to believe your grade given the difference in price between this coin in MS64 and MS65. If however, PCGS has called it MS65, they are more likely to agree with the grade.[/QUOTE]
