Seascape New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/10/2011 11:19 pm Maybe there is an easy answer to my question? I am somewhat new but ran a 4 year Red Book study on just a couple CC Morgans. Here is an example of what I found. 2008 1881 VF-20= 350.00 MS63= 1000 MS64= 650 MS63= 600 2012 1881 VF-20= 450 MS63= 650 MS64= 75 MS65= 1000 Note: MS63 went down 350 ___________________________________________________________ 2008 1885 CC VF-20= 500 MS64= 800 MS65= 1750 2012 1885 CC VF-20= 550 MS64= 800 MS65= 1300 **** note MS-65 went down 450. I spent some time and noticed this among other grades,mints,years ect..... But almost every advice column I have seen encourages envesting in the most expensive coins you can afford. Trying to collect using a method to my madness. Anybody want to chime in on this? My data is from the 2012 Red Book. Edited by Seascape 07/11/2011 2:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

That way you get to see what real-world sales prices have done, rather than estimates in some book. Why is Red Book listing prices for a coin (1886-CC) that wasn't minted? No CC Morgans were minted in 1886, 87 or 88. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/11/2011 08:12 am That is obviously a typo on the 1881 MS-63 price from 2008. Why would it be $1000 in 63, but only $650 in MS-65 Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/11/2011 10:12 am From the prices, I'm going to guess he meant 1885 instead of 1886, but I'm not really sure. There are too many typos in this analysis to make sense of it. Anyways, welcome to the forums! Report this Post to the Staff

Obvious to you, maybe, but not to me. Except it doesn't agree with the thread title. I'll concede a typo - this ain't a point worthy of nitpicking - but my point regarding Heritage stands. Yes, they're a single-source reference, and therefore not necesssarily indicative of industry-wide trends. Taking 1881-CC in MS65 as an example, though, they have record of 899 individual sales going back to 1993. That's a decent sample. 1885-CC/MS65 is similar, with 895 results.

IHPO8S Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 07/11/2011 2:54 pm well in early 2000 I was buying gsa black box morgans 82,83,84 the common dates for $115.00. The same morgans are selling for $175.00-$200.00 at this time. They will always go up but the dollar compared to when you bought it is now weaker. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 2:40 pm I wasn't nit-picking about the title saying CC and not have a CC on the 1881 data, My point was if all those grades and values were for the same issue P, S, CC whatever, if the price for a MS-63 is 54% higher than for a MS-65 of the same thing, there is something wrong with the data. A typo, either his or in the reference he copied from. Report this Post to the Staff
