[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3318808, member: 78244"]I am very well aware of that, and I believe that such a huge increase in price for such a tiny increase in quality is nothing short of silly.

I won’t be any competition. Don’t get me wrong. ANY MS/PF-69 is a pretty, high-quality coin. But I would never be able to justify a 69 when it costs 1000x a perfectly lovely 66 or 300x a gorgeous 67. No, my sense of taste is very weak. As such, it is silly for me to pay up for high-quality food when I physically cannot sense an appreciable increase in quality. I just trust others when someone says something tastes better than something else. It’s like asking an old visually-impaired gentleman to tell the difference between a 66 and 69. He physically can’t, but he’ll trust the TPG that the 69 is indeed better than the 66. And if being able to see the increase in quality is important to him, rather than the fact that a minute increase exists, he would logically go for the 66 over the 69. And most of the flavor of a cheeseburger comes from the extra that a steak does not have.[/QUOTE]
