Curious observation on Ike price guide

bronze6827

I see that the FS-103 #395913 and FS-106 #395915 proof Ikes were added to the price guide when these coins were added to the registry. I was wondering why the FS-401 Silver Peg Leg #148405, which was added to the registry at the same time, is not listed in the price guide. Populations are available for all coins. Actually, the FS-401 has a much larger population than both proofs combined. The combined population of those two proofs is only 7 total, yet they have PCGS prices listed and the uncirculated FS-401 does not.

I'm sure not nearly enough of the FS-401 have changed hands to track market prices since the formal PCGS recognition, but I find it hard to believe PCGS doesn't have an estimation of price based on current known populations.

Personally, I know roughly what the FS-401 Ikes are worth in various grades, but I was curious to see PCGS's take on the matter.

Not sure if this will help your question, but here it goes.

I recently aquired 3 different FS Roosies and upon entering them to my inventory, they did not have a price guide price. Wanting/needing them listed in the price guide is crucial to my collection, so I reported the prices to someone who reports prices bought/sold directly to PCGS and this person sees to it that the prices are registered. Its the only way to assure that it is fair. When I reported these prices, I showed final sales reciepts to also assure it was ligit. Otherwise I would own 3 beautiful dimes and not have current prices for them.

Hope this helps.

Later, Paul.

Andrew, My Registry shows a price of $50 for an MS65.

You think thats a bit off expecially since this MS64 went for peanuts??

Perhaps Jaime Hernandez at PCGS should be notified?

The Price guide is off on many variety pieces in the Presidential Dollar as well.
When a unique coin is valued at $ 85 and another unique coin is valued at $ 4750, It does make you scratch your head.

Hey,,,, that was MY coin!!!

Last one of those I send to TeleTrade. It went too cheap

Actually a large percentage of FPL that have sold have been my coins. I could provide PCGS sale prices if they would like?

Never know Big G, might make a difference. You did, and still do I believe, have the PCGS graded FPL hoard.

P.S. I have 3 more FPL going in tomorrow.

Maybe a MS66 if I get lucky

Agree with all the comments. This is a rare coin.

MS 64 $300-400
MS 65 $800-1000
MS66 $1500+
MS67 Name Your Price

Dang!

Its too bad that the Registry weights do not reflect reality.

Currently the FS-401 has a weight of 5.00 while a 1976-D Type 1 has a weight of 6.00.

This means that the MS64 1976-D T1 coin at $35 has more "registry weight" than the $300-$400 MS64 FS-401 ?

My personal experience has been that its far easier to locate a 1972 Type 2 coin than it is to locate a 1971-S Peg Leg and I'm sure that many would agree.
