    Depends. Are you buying or selling?

    I believe a board member owns this coin. This is a very well known conditionally scarce coin to those of us who collect Barber coinage.

    Hey, for nice stuff, sometimes you have to reach, you know?
    Throw any semi-key in any series in choice for grade, no problem with eye appeal up on the bay, watch the sheet go bye-bye.

    It depends on the coin, and how often it actually trades. In some cases GS is over the market even at bid, in others multiples of ask is a major bargain.

    The Grey sheet is designed as a wholesale tool and not as a retail guide. This coin is obviously in great demand and so you can throw away the wholesale tool and even the retail guides.

    Two people think that it is worth a lot more!! That is what this coin is worth, today.

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    image Tom, I didn't get good money for it... I got great money - and a percentage of the upgrade to boot. Now, as we have all learned, it is tough to sell a really nice coin and not occasionally look back and ask,

    "Why did I sell that #$^%$ coin?"

    And that is why I'll always be a wannabee as a coin seller (even if I were to get serious about coin selling, which I doubt).

    That is a very tough coin to find in that condition. The published wholesale and retail levels are not even close on these. I remember JJ Teaparty have a few of these slabbed over the past year or so, and it seemed like they were getting these types of numbers for them.

    Some prices are just nuts right now. A common-date Morgan in PCGS MS66 went for $500+

    These really do deserve these prices given their relative scarcity to other coin series. With that said, there are dates that are relative bargains right now by comparison, like the 1898-s, which I now own 2 of, one in PCGS XF-40, the other in PCGS VF-25. Got lucky with my timing. These are selling at a small fraction of the price with a similar scarcity.

    The 1903-s is hard to find in lower grades too I've noticed.

    Tom/Keith,

    I am the guilty party on that one. I wish I wouldnt have sold it after you sold it to me! I felt compelled to sell actually since the deal we had was part of the profit if it upgraded.
    Oh well, it is in good hands with a good collector. There are more than a few coins that have passed through that I miss...image

    Oh yes! The 98-S looks like a great deal to me. I always look for that coin.

    This is exactly why I love my local dealer that has no clue of the real market and grabs the trusty GreySheet everytime I buy a coin. image

    The 09-O Quarter must be the most undervalued coin in all of the numismatic, at least in mid grades. Even the highest retail guides aren't high enough. Greysheet on this one? Forget Greysheet on any of these mid grade Barbers!

    I quit having regrets about selling coins many years ago. You have to ask yourself, "What did I do with the money I made on that deal?"

    If the cash went to another great coin, or to buy a house, or to pay for a college education, then there's nothing to regret.

    But if that profit went to the girlfriend who has since left town, now that would be regretable. image

    No shill bidding here.
    Pure coincidence that the two highest bidders had bids ending in .99.

    PCGS price on one I bought a while back is 1K and I spent 2.1K to get it.

    Rare in any grade. Makes me think that the price guide automatically populates prices for lower grades if there is only a record of sale for the mid grades.
