J P M Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I picked up a nice MS66+ 1949 S for the set . I was a bit shocked when I looked up the PCGS price difference between a 66 and a 66+ overkill I think. This coin has a nice tone some very cool die polishing lines and a possible RPM.

Mr.Bill347 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Nice JP. Who put the image of a dragon in Monticello. Enlarge it you’ll see it. MM does look a little funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleRJO Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Nice coin! I like the hint of toning.

They adjusted upwards significantly earlier this year after the serious price spike, and never adjusted them again when prices came back down to reality more recently. I guess they feel it may be going backwards or something. I have been using the NGC values, even for PCGS slabs, which have been spot on lately as they are not so quick to make price changes and never adjusted upwards for the spike, so there is no adjustment downward needed. For coins I have been shopping for and tracking, the NGC values have been pretty much on the money with Great Collections, HA and eBay auction prices with a few exceptions for coins with a higher demand.

Lem E Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Nice low pop coin JP. It is quite a jump in price but when there aren’t that many examples, the price goes up. Nice score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
