bwolper Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I was interested in possibly buying a coin. Before doing so, I checked several sources to get an idea of what I should expect to pay. I am not submitting pictures right now as my question has more to do with the coin's certified condition and value. The coin in question is a 1923 S Peace Dollar, certified by NGC at MS 64+ (NGC Reg. 4602367-003). When I look at the NGC online price guide, I see the price for MS 64+ at $700. Other sources I have checked are in the same ballpark. I then look the coin up by NGC registration number and it states the NGC price guide value is $65. Please help me to understand the discrepancy. What am I missing?. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohawk Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hi Bruce....I think I figured it out. The coin attached to that certification number is a 1923 Philadelphia coin. The S on the label before the dollar sign is how NGC denotes a silver dollar. A 1923-S coin would show 1923-S S$1. I'd say there's the reason for your price difference.

tejas1836 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Mohawk is correct. The coin in question is a 1923; not a 1923-S. If you look at the reverse of the coin, it doesn't have a mint mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
