Saruma Pillar of the Community United States 968 Posts	Posted 10/25/2011 9:34 pm Unless you are very confident in your grading in the MS range, or that coin has been graded by a reputable TPG, I would not pay MS-63 prices for it. If it actually graded lower than that you would have ended up overpaying by a fair bit. Report this Post to the Staff
ccw2805 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 10/25/2011 11:59 pm That's what I am hoping to avoid. I am 99.9% sure that the label with the grade on it is not from a reputable grading service. Seeing as no logos or names of the companies were mentioned on it. I will try and slide by the store tomorrow and get a picture of the coin if possible and post it. Report this Post to the Staff
jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 10/26/2011 12:08 am I think you should check out teletrade there you can buy coins already graded for the same price of raw coins. This past summer I averaged in the mid $40's for (ANACS,NGC,PCGS)AU55-MS62 morgans. Tonight I just bought a "1855 NGC XF details"Large cent for $31 and all these coins are already graded so it saves you money in the long run. I personally would recommend Teletrade and Heritage.

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 10/26/2011 12:38 am One must also realize you can buy the certification papers on ebay all day long,, if your smart enough to research what the numbers are for the given years of GSA coins..one would realize many broke them out of the box to have them NGC or PCGS certified back in the day for grading purposes only..before the collector's who wanted all the documentaion...GSA coins were held in the vaults..SO this means they are definitly "uncirculated" So the question still relates in the end to the coins true condition of grade, when one can purchase the box and papers on ebay...its the condition that is most important...IF it was in Granny's bread basket for a century or in the vault..the condition is the determining factor..though some may disagree...She loved to make BANANA Bread Report this Post to the Staff
ccw2805 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 10/27/2011 2:15 pm This is disappointing, apparently my local coin shop owner believes that the lowest he could go would be about $230 for this MS-63 and refused to pass the offer on to the owner that put the coin on consignment when I made an offer of about $160 for it. I guess I will try teletrade then. Report this Post to the Staff
