WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER OWN?

GiveMeProof

Please tell me if this is inappropriate and I will cease and desist. It seems that MS70 graded 2021-D Morgans are REALLY expensive. Which would you rather own? An NGC with an "Early Releases" designation or a PCGS with no designation at about the same price. Also, how do you look up completed sales for a particular item on Ebay? Thank you all.

As far as seeing completed items, when you do your search with filters, click see more, then you will see the tab for Sold Items

Ah, thank you JJM

I would rather just buy one in the original packaging. As long as it isn't obviously flawed I don't care about grade on these.
Besides, the OGP displays well.

Could I just have the cash?

PCGS all day. It would match all my other coins and fit in my coin boxes. Which coincidentally are all PCGS boxes. Special labels are meh to me.

It would totally depend on the coin... I make my decision on the coin itself, not the slab or the label. Cheers, RickO

Same coin? In PCGS holder >>>> NGC holder. All of the "early release" designation and such is hogwash, IMO.

The D ‘s are more expensive because of production problems. Lowest percentage of 70’s.
Personally I don’t care about labels, other than fdoi, because they are only available one way. They carry a premium as well.

PCGS all the way!

I'm a PCGS guy. Prefer their holders, tho the NGC seems to have more heft - PCGS lets you see more of the coin usually. I've bought in NGC holders when PCGS wasnt available at the time, when backfilling a collection.
I hate some of the specialty labels. The advanced / early issues only support the privileged few who can get them. I dont get why FDOI / 1st strike command a premium - its the same coin (in same condition), yet others see a benefit. -shrug-

For same money I probably take the designation. I don’t care about the designation, but if people do later, then at least I have it.
This choice is strictly if looking at coins side by side and I like them both and they appear identical to me.

Early release, first strike - all that crap means literally nothing.
I’d rather not have that pointless idiocy on the label.

I like mint products raw in the original mint packaging for ones I want in my long term collection. I did send in a bunch of mint products in the past, but I stopped pretty quickly. Now I have a bunch of empty mint packaging from those, not sure what to do with them. Unless you are trying to flip them or if you are working on a registry set I don’t really see the need to slab modern mint products.

Appreciate all the opinions guys. I'd love a FDOI but they're insane. Although Bullion Shark had them for $500 marked down to $419 but they're out of stock. So I put it on my wish list. We'll see. I don't have high expectations though.

doesn't matter to me who graded it and labels also don't matter just as long as the coin gets my notice
