How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

1907 MS-63 (PCGS) St. Gaudens. (PCGS #9141)

PCGS price guide has it slightly over $2,000 (used to be way higher), NumisMedia has it at $2160.

I've been trying to sell this thing for an even 2k now for weeks with no success - both here and on Craigslist in a major metro area.


What I'm trying to figure out is, are these two price guides real world/realistic/reasonable, or do they misrepresent what coins like this go for in the real world?

Invest in both the Grey and Blue Sheet publications.

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

Is Grey for dealers and Blue for collector to collector?

Are you going to ask for subscription information next? Do a bit of work! :10_1_19:

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

One word CHEAPER. But frankly unless you need the money really bad I'd keep it for a short time, perhaps a year.

I'm not going to subscribe to a newsletter so I can price one coin. I can certainly call a dealer who does subscribe and ask them what the price is, but, that's kind of pointless if I don't understand what price these sheets are representing - "retail" or "dealer" level.

I did go to the site but the answer didn't seem apparent.

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

That's what I'm trying to understand, if those two values are generally over what the market will realistically bring. I guess you're saying they are?


I don't like numi stuff at all. :) It's a leftover from the business and I've been trying to get rid of it.

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

I normally don't spoon feed but here goes. Grey is raw. Blue is slabbed. Both report dealer bid/ask action. I imagine most "legitimate" dealers pay up in order to be "up to date".

OK, thanks. :)

Are you SURE that it's not counterfeit?

No.

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

For what its worth - I take the prices from PCGS or NCG as a "retail" price........which no one pays.

More reasonable is to knock 15-20%

Hope it helps!

Cheers!

Skeptic - PM me on Friday and I will look up the values for you the greysheet and bluesheet

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

Thanks guys.

CoinHunter - will do.

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

$1860 at PCGS - 20% = $1,488 starting BID reserve price.

TOLD YA to KEEP IT, right?

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

It's the 9141 (no motto). $2040 at PCGS

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

Hey Skeptic - here is your info...

3/19/10 Bluesheet shows 1907 $20 St Gaudens PCGS MS-63 at $1535 with no change from prior week

3/26/10 Greysheet shows $20 St Gaudens common type coin raw in MS-63 at bid $1410, ask $1460

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

Thanks. Aren't there two varieties of 1907? This is a PCGS #9141 (#9140 seems to be cheaper)

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

That is correct...the 1907 has the high relief variety which is $18575 in PCGS MS-63 on the bluesheet, and ($22500 bid/$23200 ask) raw on the 3/26/10 greysheet. The greysheet shows an increase from the prior week but it's only +$600 on both so it seems a little odd that PCGS certified is showing a lower bid than a raw type coin.

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

I'm talking about Type 2, No Motto, PCGS #9140. I'm a little confused because this coin is a 9141, but I don't know the difference.

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

start it on ebay at $1 with no reserve. one week auction. provide a good picture.

you will find out how much it is worth.

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

I've learned my lesson about selling on ebay, sorry. :)

Re: How do I price this St Gaudens?
 

As far as I know, all 1907's have no motto on them and have these categories:
*ultra high relief with plain edge
*ultra high relief with lettered edge
*high relief w/roman numerals and wire rim
*high relief w/roman numerals and flat rim
*regular strike with arabic numerals

9140 seems to be the designation for the coin type, where 9141 is the designation for this specific year/mintmark.
