If this really is a MS-70 coin (not so sure), then it should be worth around $1,200 according to PCGS.

I'll say $35-$40. What you have is a nicely toned bullion ASE. The greysheet for MS69/OGP is $33.50-$35.00. Its graded MS 70 by PCI which the market doesn't value highly, so in essence you have a bullion coin. Hence my value. No one will give MS70 money for a coin graded by PCI.

E-bay isn't a great way to value coins, overpriced and almost always can be found for (a lot) less elsewhere. Concur with hfjacinto

@legenstud: If you truly believe your coin is MS-70 (something I would suggest is highly unlikely), you need to submit it to PCGS and have them assign a grade.

The only way you will ever be able to sell the coin for more than the range hfjacinto is suggesting, is by having it in a holder that is considered far more credible vs. PCI.

The thing is it will cost you more to get it grade by PCGS, if it doesn't turns out to be a MS-70, so if you believe it can graded as a MS-70, this is what you have to decide for yourself.

. PCI is not one of the three trusted companies. Your coin does have very nice eye appeal and the toning looks to be natural. It will most likely not grade a 70 at any of the TPGs that are trusted.I just checked ebay sold values which gives you a really good idea on current values, IMHO and only a few are slabbed and do not look naturally toned to me

PCI slabs are known for circular toning of coins, especially ASEs. There is a premium for those.

PCI Gold box grading is, politely, bunk.

If you check on ebay, search for MS-69 and PCI Toning. But most of them will be currently in PCGS holders which will cost you to regrade.

I disagree. For many (especially recently with the pandemic) ebay is THE market.

I will respectfully agree to disagree regarding ebay. Overpriced.

to use ebay as a price guide you need to check out SOLD prices, not asking prices..

I know a lot of people pay ebay prices I only ask why? I see common bullion morgans/Peace selling for $40-$50, who are buying these? The coin shown is a nice toned bullion ASE, if you pay more than $40, you are overpaying. Just my 2 cents.

Third-rate grading service. Coin needs to be resubmitted from scratch.

The unscrupulous option would be to list this coin for sale at ebay with a $999 price tag and solicit offers.
