<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1406020, member: 22004&quot;]If you look at the prices of rare coin in problem holders, there is a range of what they will sell for based on whether the coin has minor problems or major defects.&nbsp; Minor ones are light cleaning, minor reverse damage, etc..&nbsp; Major problems are harsh cleaning and polishing, serious damage, grafitti on the coin, badly done artificial toning, etc..&nbsp; So you could have the same coin, roughly the same grade that varies in value 2-3X.</p><p><br /></p><p>The market has never determined exactly what esoteric things like collectables, art, coins are worth exactly unless you have a good auction house and educated buyers and sellers with bucks to spend.&nbsp; There are plenty of auctions where lots sold for a lot less than they were worth either unitentionally or intentionally.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just as I have seen buyers snap up items worth a lot less than market value, especially if the items are unattributed, raw and fresh.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
