Jefferson Experts... Prices on MS67FS 1943-D

itsnotjustme

I saw an MS67FS 1943-D Jefferson on e-bay with a B-I-N of just $109. Seamed very good for a type coin. I know the pop is high on this issue. Was this a good price? Have a lot of these been slabbed recently? I see DLRC has one for sale at $145 reduced from $240...

Heritage value index lists it for $70-$90. If the shipping is real low then it might be ok if it's a solid 67fs.
Some people prefer ngc full step coins because they are supposed to have tighter standards on the fs designation.

145.00 to165.00 seems to be the norm from most of the larger dealers. The price on this particular date and mint has dropped since last march it was going for almost 260.00 on most large dealer sites. Of course Bowers and Merena has one that was 289.00 about 4 months ago. They have dropped it to 229.00. It is a nice coin but I am not sure it is worth the extra premium.

I think the Heritage index is probably pretty close to the right price - somewhere near $100.

One word of caution, since the pop on a 1943D MS67FS coin has increased from 98 in January 2002 to 132 today looking back at previous sales can lead to overpaying. When doing a price check look at the pop #'s at the time of sale and compare it to todays pop #'s. No or little change in pop #'s - you probably have a good reference point. With a large increase in pop #'s start thinking lower price.

The 43D MS67FS pop has increased from 124 in march to 139 today and is the most common in the silver series. I think you paid a little premimum for it but its a good type coin. Good luck.
