<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 55335, member: 68&quot;]There is a lot of variation in mint quality from year to year and from mint to </p><p>mint.&nbsp; There is also variation in the range of quality and how the coins lay out </p><p>within these ranges.&nbsp; As a general rule most prices for moderns mint state coins</p><p>is two teir.&nbsp; There is one price which is a wholesale price and applies to any coin</p><p>which is a solid MS-60 or better.&nbsp; Solid MS-60 means no big problems.&nbsp; It must </p><p>remembered that some dates are hardly available from rolls and bags without big</p><p>problems.&nbsp; This especially applies to the earlier issues.&nbsp; Even in mint sets there </p><p>are coins like the &#039;76 t I which is encountered with severe problems nearly 50% </p><p>of the time.&nbsp; This wholesale price defines the floor at which these coins will trade</p><p>at and can be found under BU Rolls in the greysheet.&nbsp; You can usually sell to deal-</p><p>ers at about 150% of greysheet if you&#039;re patient. Otherwise it&#039;s easy to get 90%.</p><p><br /></p><p>Premiums above this are more difficult but do not require slabbing, just quality.</p><p>If quality is easy for you to find then it will be easy for others also so there will </p><p>be no premium.&nbsp; In the highest grades coins will generally need to be slabbed </p><p>to get the best prices but there are buyers seeking these coins any way they </p><p>can find them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay is, no doubt, just reflecting this market which is not collector friendly. It&#039;s</p><p>biggest weakness is the simple fact that demand is small except at the wholesale </p><p>level and at this level all that is required is nice attractive coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
