Why are there such HUGE differences is the values posted by the TPDs for certain MS67 WWII Silver Jefferson nickels  Examp: PCGS NGC
1942-S $250 $71.50
1944-P $600 $101
1945-P $700 $260
1945-S $140 $71.50I was under the impression the these two TPGs were fairly close in their grading standards. I would expect some variance, but not $500 dollar variances  . To what do you all think this could be attributed?

Maybe one was figure a FS designation...its hard to tell. I don't pay any attention to what TPGs list as coin values anyhow.

I double checked to make sure none of the values I stated were FS values, they are not. All stated values are for the grade of MS67.

PCGS are out of their minds. Those NGC prices are the same as numismedia. I think PCGS is greedy, and thats all there is to it. Dont get me started on PCGS lol

There is a big difference between "stated" value and what you can actually get for something. Any given coin is only wirth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. I would be curious to know where they got those figures from.

I pulled the above values straight from the price guides at PCGS and NGC. I then did some spot checking of listings on ebay, the prices are mimicking the TPG values and even higher in some cases! The huge differences in value just don't seem to make sense...

I'd hazard to guess it's slab speculators who are driving up the prices for PCGS as everything PCGS seems to do nowadays is backed by marketing, hype, and their reputation for being "tough" on grading... which in my humble personal opinion is rubbish.
$700 for a 1945-P in MS67 is nothing short of either a) wishful thinking or b) robbery.

I did a quick check on TeleTrade for the 1942-S in MS67. The last 2 prices realized were $41 & $50 for NGC slabs, which is well below NGC's '$71.50' value and FAR below the PCGS '$250.00 value.' As SC pointed out, only the PCGS slabs at MS67 appear to have these high premiums attached to their prices. I may be incorrect, but I would guess further research on TeleTrade would also show 'regular prices' for the other coins in this series: At least for the NGC slabs that is... Having said that, someone must have paid /is paying those prices or they wouldn't be recorded, right? Perhaps the examples were 'extraordinary' for some reason. C'mon: 1945-P MS67 PCGS $700 & NGC $260 I wouldn't pay those prices, but I agree, if people ARE paying those asking prices for the PCGS slabs, they are making some REALLY POOR choices. The pop reports do not support those kinds of premiums on these coins. I need a 1944-P MS67 to complete my set in MS67, but I don't think I will be paying anywhere near what is being asked for the PCGS version of that coin. |

I have seen some NGC graded MS67 coins with inflated asking and selling prices today as well.... so it would appear that it is not only PCGS slabbed coins that this is happening to...
