<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3009019, member: 46237"]Often there are significant differences in eye appeal between high MS grades due to the subjectivity of grading. One coin may have gotten a bump due to eye appeal and another might have a minor defect, etc. You just have to evaluate them on a per coin basis. I have several coins in my type set that are lower grades than are available, but I keep them due to the superior eye appeal. In general though, I go for the higher grades if they are properly graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>For moderns/ultra moderns, there's much less of a difference between the hyper gem grades as there are with classic coins. Toning, strike imperfections, etc. are much less of a factor on these coins and it homogenizes them so that coins of the same grade are often virtually interchangeable. This is not true of classic coins though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
