Are the prices there realistic in MS66 and MS67 red? There is a huge price jump between these gradesimage

  • The PCGS price guide is a joke for those years. MS65 might be close, everything else is way off. The price jumps are much more dramatic than in some cases and much less in others. 1959-1963 prices are about the condition rarity. 1964-1969 prices are more in line with the populations.

    Can I ask a stupid question? When you look at the PCGS price guide do you expect the price shown to be the price you can sell your PCGS slabbed coin at OR do you expect the price shown to be what you can BUY a similar PCGS slabbed coin at? Before you answer, think hard. What do YOU really expect these numbers to tell you.

    I basicly ignore the price guide and look at auction history.

  • everybody hates NGC coins,i for one do not.
    i use the PCGS guide for pricing in the areas i deal with.
    I will pay 15-30 % of the price,(read that 70-85% discount).
    wouldnt pay much more than that for PCGS coins

    I thought I replied right after you posted this... somehow it didn't post? Anyway...

    On ms66rd they are way too high (except 63-d). Most can be found on ebay much cheaper. For ms67rd their price is usually some last known sale or something... on some pops may have gone up and are now less but on a lot I think real prices are even higher. It is hard to price such a thin market. All pops (except 68-s) in ms67 are single digits.

    Do you own those coins perfectstrike? Nice coins. Nice prices on the 68,68-d. Didn't realize they were so affordable (unlike 1966). That 69-p price seems familiar, I think I bid 55.56 on one recently and was the underbidder image

    Might the PCGS price guide be so high for PCGS-slabbed Lincolns since they have the most meaningful guarantee for both grade and color? Whle the prices posted may not be fair market value, they are certainly not fair comparison for sellers of similarly-graded Lincolns in other companies' holders, despite all those eBay auctions which cite these prices.

    I just got some rolles of 1960-D and a couple of them look very nice 66+ quality so I guess they are worth slabbing, Anyone knows wht 60-D LD may be worth in 67 (they will go to NGC)?

    1960-D SD MS66RD $27.79

    Darn! I thought this was a common coin and didn't even save the MS-65's.

    That was my coin. Technically you can't count it as sold yet because the doofus eBay bidder still hasn't paid for it. image

    I sold a couple of others at the same time, a 1962 PCGS66RD for $51.77 and another 1960 LD in PCGS66RD (but not as nicely toned as the one above) for a measley $12.50.
