A dealer once asked me if I noticed any three-legged buffalos on the bourse,to which I replied,"...no,but I saw alot of two-legged jackasses..."

    I do not have a source for you, but I have heard of UNCS selling in the $2500 range. (MS62) AND THAT COULD BE OUTDTATED ALREADY.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Good luck with that, vam44! Sounds like a nice coin.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Whoa, only 37 slabbed by PCGS and NGC combined? That could make recent pricing info hard to find.

    To the best of my knowledge, Scarfaces are not known to exist above MS63. I have never seen or heard of one graded less than MS60. As is the case with all better date Morgans, PCGS-holdered coins tend to bring "all the money", while those that aren't do not. Here is my on-going experience with tracking the prices of PCGS-graded coins:

    MS62s have been selling for $2300 to $2500.

    I would expect an MS63 to bring $3500.

    An MS61 would probably bring $1800 to $2000.

    An MS60 would probably bring $1500.

    If six people decide at once that they want one of these, the price could easily jump 50%... that's how few of them there are.
    When in doubt, don't.
