<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 184421, member: 112&quot;]I think part of the problem is you are thinking in terms of actual rarity and I am discussing condition rarity. As I said in my earlier comments, I was talking about Unc examples - not circulated examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, I will agree that the same thing can happen to Proof coins saved in a collection, but for whatever reason, it typically happenes less often. Perhaps it is because the people collecting them are more serious about it or just take better care of the Proofs because they know how easily they can be damaged. I dunno, I just know it is so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me give you an example, the 1901 Morgan - in PF65 the coin sells for about $6,000; but in MS65 it sells for about $220,000. However, the very same coin in lower grade circulated condition sells for well under $100. A bit of a difference. I realize this is an example of what you are talking about, but it is also an example of what I am talking about and it also reinforces my explanation as being correct. I know it may not seem like it makes sense, but that is the way it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
