Can anybody give me approx. value of a 1938-D cent graded MS70 Red by SGS?

Coin is sharp and brilliant.

If it crosses to PCGS at that same grade,,,,,,,,, I'd take a guess at $50,000.

SGS was notorious for overgrading coins. Chances are, your coin has been over graded and worth much less than you anticipated.

The lack of liquidity for the slab is a major reason why I suggested the approximately 25-cents range. Perhaps it is a nice, original, un-dipped coin in MS64 or MS65, but even in a PCGS holder and labeled red (RD) they are only $10.

I'm sorry if this comes off as arrogant or demeaning or whatever else, but a good approximation is about 25-cents unless one sees the coin in-hand.

Your pic does not show “sharp and brilliant.” Needs to be evaluated in-hand

Here are some auction results with our host and ATS:

They're saying that "Graded MS70 Red by SGS" doesn't indicate anything about the Quality or value of the coin. Show large, clear pictures! It might very well be a decent MS65 or 66, but there is no way to tell, so far.

In all fairness, I never see anything in an SGS.slab less than MS70.

Slab adds no value, and theres 0% chance its MS70, lol. It's a raw coin to the market.

I agree with 10 cents.

SGS MS70 is the name of their company, they all say that

koynekwest

SGS is/was a junk slabber. Their grades are totally irrelevant.

Oh come on guys. A raw 38-D that’s 65RD quality is a $5 coin at least. This one could be in that range although the lack of detail on the 8 is strange.

Its a $5.00 coin after you spend 18-20 bucks to holder it ngc or pcgs.

That would be my guesstimate as well.

Wow! That is funny. Upside down SGS, Star Grasing service, bar code and SN do not match, wrong bar code size... not to mention the gras (grade)
Lol

If a slab like that were offered to me at a show, I'd pay a buck or two for it and then most likely donate it to one of the local coin clubs to be given out as a prize or as a youth item.
