<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2416542, member: 73165&quot;]Yeah, I&#039;m starting to get a feel for some of these things.&nbsp; I like to tell people I collect coins, not plastic, so slabs are not a thing I tend to rely on a whole lot. But, rarity is a whole different ball game when it comes to tokens than for US coins.&nbsp; Something with a mintage of 2000 will come up on eBay once every couple of months in nice condition and sell for like $20 or something.&nbsp; And, even within the ever-popular CWTs, you can get R7 or R8 pieces in high grade for a few hundred.</p><p><br /></p><p>The whole &quot;grading tax&quot; thing is actually pretty natural, when you think about it.&nbsp; If you have a lot of people chasing a limited number of pieces, that naturally drives prices up.&nbsp; And, it creates price discrimination, as sellers try to get maximum value out of what they have.&nbsp; The primary way of doing that is by charging more for higher grade pieces.&nbsp; That&#039;s why the Dan Carr stuff sells for more than issue price as soon as they&#039;re discontinued. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
