Greysheet's price guide. Question on a variety?

joeykoins

Hi guys, I Can't seem to find a price on the Greysheet for my variety? Can someone help me?
It's the Washington Quarter 1947 s/s PCGS graded RPM ms .66 FS-501.
PCGS 's price guide for my coin is $275.
Thanks guys.

Greysheet only lists the values for major varieties like the 1955 1c DDO or 1964 50c PF AH. A lesser known variety like that won’t be in the Greysheet. Nice coin though.

A nice quarter either way.
Thanks @Kliao for the info on the Greysheet.

If you guys Remember...

this is that same coin, that way back, when I sent in a Mercury 1920s in to PCGS to have graded. I picked the Merc. up from my LCS. It was in her junk silver tray. Bought for only $5. Remember guys? When I received the coin back from PCGS. They gave me a dreaded " Cleaned Details". Awful! From a $1000 coin to maybe a $100 coin?
So, finally the point, Lol. My dealer friend admired the coin despite the details designation. He offered me a trade, remember now guys? So he graciously offered me two NGC graded coins. One was a NGC Mercury dime, 1937 ms 67 and the other was the topic coin. The NGC 1947s ms 66. Yes, it wasn't designated with the variety s/s. But my dealer friend knew it was a s over s variety. Yes, he gave me an awesome trade! What a guy, huh? So, I decided to not only cross the NGC to PCGS but also have the variety added as well. Hoping it would stay the graded ms 66? We both knew it would receive the variety.
So, it did come back with the variety, as well as, the ms 66!
So that's the back story on my 1947s/s ms 66 fs- 501 quarter. Lol. Thanks for reading my book!

The real question to ask about the 1947-S is whether there is a real market for that variety at the $275 PCGS price guide level. It appears to be a nice looking coin and is in the "right" holder so your best bet may be to take it to a major show and see if there is any interest. Hopefully it will do better than the 1955 "Bugs Bunny" Franklin Half.

I don't think the 20-S was worth $100, so no loss.

@JoeyCoins why did your dealer friend break it out? There's 2 possibilities and I shudder at one of them.

To resend. Either to our Host or across the street. I wish him, Good Luck!

You really need to look at pop results. There are 68 ms 66 with 16 coins graded higher. It's a 100 dollar coin and here is the last one sold at Heritage... GL

I like the 1947-S/S 25C FS-501...so much so that I have the same variety and condition...and his sibling FS-502 in 65+.

No, it isn't. It's a details coin.

Just my opinion. I've been wrong before.
