<p>[QUOTE="1916D10C, post: 3318618, member: 97585"]Personally, and this is my opinion, the idea that that small of a difference in quality would merit that large of a price difference, is absurd. Both are Proof Coins. Both display full details. Both display full luster. I mean really, we are talking two points. No baseball, a more accurate analogy would be the difference between buying a $150 jar of caviar and a $700 jar. Or a $500 bottle of whiskey compared to a $2K bottle of whiskey. Or again, a $50 Cigar compared to a $100+ cigar. The minute difference in quality meriting that large of a jump in price is just laughable. This is completely manufactured rarity. The coin that sold for $12K is not inherently rare. Okayyyy, sure. It's a little nicer. "PCGS has only seen two this nice!!" Okayyyy how in the blazes am I seeing a $10K difference here? How many of them were minted again? And how many exist in PF65 (Gem) and up?? This not the difference between a 4 and 58, it's two points![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
