edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 01/07/2015 9:03 pm The PCGS and NGC guides have it at $250. Numismedia has it at $40. Heritage auction archives have a range from $10 to over $200 with most of them closer to 10 than 200. What's going on here? Report this Post to the Staff

Good point The sales is the ground truth though, $10-$250, really? Quote: Do they mention full versus partial steps in the listings? No, it's just the straight MS66, no full steps. I think the $40 is the right number. One just sold for $36. The people that paid over $200, well...... Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 01:03 am I usually place the most weight on actual sales even the prices may be no where near what price guides say. Looking at Heritage's archives and ebay, the ones in NGC holders sold in roughly the same price range. It's only the ones in PCGS holders that hammered above $200. I think the population totals and set registry are a factor in the price difference. NGC has graded 156 in and another 12 in 67. PCGS has graded 59 in 66 with the highest being a lone example in 66+. For someone building a NGC registry set, they can increase their score and possibly ranking by getting one of the ones in 67 instead of in 66. PCGS registry set builders are not left with too many options; they most likely have to settle for one of the 59 examples since I think the 66+ is probably in strong hands.
