1914 5 Cent PCGS Graded: MS-65, MS-66, And MS-67 Available

I'm not sure what you mean by "alliance". My take on it is this: the 1914 date has been scarce. There have been well established prices for ages. Along comes a hoard of high grade coins. No one knows for certain where the prices will end up. The trends editors are in an impossible position. They can "set" a new price in trends, based on what the coins "should" be selling for, or they can keep the price in line with what the market price has been, and then adjust trends when there is a price correction. In this case, I actually think that they have it right. They are widely advertising the fact that the hoard has hit the market, and that the price should fall, but they aren't leading the way by artificially creating a new price. Instead, the market will dictate the new price, and the trends will follow. The only one who gets burnt in this case is the person who isn't paying attention. But realistically, I would submit that most buyers of coins >$1000 are paying attention enough to know about this hoard, and know enough to factor it into their buying decisions.

The decision, for now, is to "restore" (which should read "maintain" since the price was never actually adjusted IN PRINT), the $1250 price point for MS-65.

The main argument is the coins are selling, to people knowledgeable about the hoard, at original prices ("and above").

There are some dealers on here. So, what would you offer a seller for an 1914 5c MS-65 with good eye appeal?

Sounds to me like a similar situation to the 2006 magnetic no logo no P cent. A huge hoard was recently found and offered at high prices. I doubt many/any? have sold.

But it is a more common coin. Now MS66 coins don't sell on ebay at $400 or so. They were $900 3 years back.

This coin should sell at half what it used to. But if the seller is patient and strong, it may take 10 or 20 years to get there. It needs to have some of the coins he sells come back into the market to compete against him.
