Depends on who you deal with. I've found that the dealers who consistently stock premium examples (original, solid+ for the grade, etc.) will also pony up to get the right coins in their inventory. The guys who just pay sheet tend to get shlock, but may every once in a while get a nice coin at a low price.

As mentioned previously by various respondents, many, if not most are ugly and or fairly badly abraded. Apparently someone else liked it a lot also, as I had to pay a hefty $2990 for it. By way of comparison, here are the prices realized for the previous six NGC or PCGS MS64's sold by Heritage:
NGC MS64 $1610 Oct. 2009 NGC MS64 $2300 Oct. 2009 PCGS MS64 $2070 Sept. 2009 NGC MS64 $1667 Aug. 2009 PCGS MS64 $2070 Aug. 2009 PCGS MS64 $2415 Aug. 2009 >>
I think Bill Shamhart has a NGC 64 on his site for $5000 and I think it's priced right. Most 64's are not created equaly. MJ
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
