1891 Morgan $ MS63:

ANACS $60, ICG $83, NGC $85, PCGS $95, Grey Sheet $150?

I conpletely understand the differences between/relative to the different grading services but why is the grey sheet $150?

Thanks in advance.

    Do people actually buy coins like this on a "sight unseen" basis?

    Greysheet is for a coin that a dealer will definitely buy as MS-63 - raw. That means it's flashy, well struck, and therefore has a shot at MS-64.
