Did I mention this is a great coin?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=150261814545

Very nice of the seller to list the reserve at $100 less than the coin is
actually worth. In fact it is probably worth a lot more. Just ask him.

The coin is actually worth $100 less than his "reserve" no matter what
he says.

I guess he believes the PCGS price guide which says it's worth $225
more than his reserve.

PCGS quotes $975 for the coin in PCGS MS64.

I don't pay prices made up by PCGS to make the clients of their brand
of plastic feel better about themselves. In fact, I try never to pay
over Greysheet unless it's for something that I know to be rarer than
the listed prices (there are many examples such as the 1880 or 1883/2
Shield Nickels for instance), or for a coin that is totally PQ for the
assigned grade.

IMO this 1921 Peace Buck doesn't make the list of things that are
worth more than Greysheet.

If he believes the PCGS price guide then I will be happy to load him
up on all of their plastic he can afford at those prices. BG

His patter is not unlike a certain blowhard "professional numismatist"
well known to this group!

I daresay that all prices are "made up." There's no pricing guide that
covers all situations, as you point out. It also depends on whether a
dealer sizes you up as another dealer, as opposed to a retail customer, as
well as a host of other considerations. The best we can hope for is some
kind of range of values, with the endpoints sloshing around quite a bit.

I think your accusation that PCGS is attempting to make owners of their
products feel good about themselves is rather flippant, and I'm equally sure
that you don't give a damn what I think, so there, I said it for you.

Coin values in December of 2007 lists a top shelf example at $1,000.00. The
auction in question is not top shelf, in my limited experience.

There's a lot of truth to that, IMO.

Well, when I look at their quoted prices and think to myself "I would
sell every PCGS coin that I own if I could only get those prices" then
there must be a disconnect somewhere. BTW I don't see a lot of PCGS
coins selling on eBay for that kind of money either unless the coin is
totally PQ or downright rare.
