    I DON'T THINK SO!!
    If you buy a 10 coin lot you should get somewhat of a break on price. Those NGC slabs are priced even higher than the PCGS slabs listed on the PCGS price list.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
  • I agree with Dog - just a cursory look at the Ebay boards seems to yield that 21-S morgans in PCGS 64 are going from anywhere from $85-100, which would be 25-40% below what this auctioneer is asking for - PLUS they're in NGC slabs, knock off another 10-15% or so, doesn't seem like a great deal to me (and before anyone out there get's their slide rule out - I did the numbers in my head!)

    Sometimes I see replies I just have to respond too. I recently sold off all of my PCGS slabbed Morgans. Most of them were duplicated with NGC coins. Why did I sell them, because of comments just made how much more they will sell for. Well I got good prices on them because they were in PCGS slabs, no doubt about it. However the main reason I sold them was because the quality of the ones in the NGC slabs were much better. A point or half-point grade higher. How long have I been buying, selling and collecting Morgans, over 30 years now. Two years ago I paid $115 for a MS64 21-S, why because it is one of the nicest 21-S's I have ever owned. Yes, its in an NGC slab.

    Would the PCGS coins sold for more money if they were laid side by side with the NGC's, no way. 10X$115 equals $1115.00. Would I bid on this auction, of course not. Never buy any coin in any slab sight unseen.
