for an 1890-CC Morgan PCGS MS63 in an old blue holder (no bar code)?

barcode must be on the reverse ?? depends on the coin......greysheet is 780/850 so somewhere between 605 (bluesheet) and $1200 if it's a PQ+++ coin. I know it's a huge spread but without seeing the coin these are the possibilities imo......

It’s impossible to set a price on a coin like this without at least a picture. Even than a picture is no match for seeing the coin in person. If the coin is unattractive with too many marks or ugly spots or toning, it could be worth “bid” or less. If it’s really high end and might be a “shot MS-64” the coin could wholesale for as much as $950.

The bid / ask on the 1890-CC is $780 / $850. In today’s market properly graded PCGS and NGC coins sell for at least between “bid” and “ask” in dealer to dealer transactions. As a retail customer you could expect pay up to $1,000 or even more for a REALLY nice example. MS-64 bid is $2,050. Given that gap, there is pressure to get a bit more for a really nice MS-63.

I paid $1,600 for this one, but it is a 63 DMPL (bad pic). If you can afford the upgrade, it is worth it!

That looks like a PQ MS-63, Fletcher, which is worth a lot more than bid. It's and example of why published prices are guides. They are not numbers that are cast in concrete.

Too much of a natural spread on the coin. It really comes down to the coin. The holder is really irrelevant. (I really hate the OGH... promotion. Sometimes it means it has been off the street for a long time and is hot for an upgrade. Sometimes it means it is par or less for the grade and is damned to the original holder. Real collectors collect coins, not tags.)
