[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1597537, member: 26302"]This is what I was trying to relate, so evidently did it poorly. Yes, of course, a VF sells for more than a F, it always will.

Yes, you can see "scarce this nice", but its more of a descriptor. We don't buy "high grade" coins because of some perceived scarcity of the high grade ignoring the coin, right? Are there ancients sold as gXF ancients like MS65 morgans get sold regularly, (to ancient collectors)? That was my only, (poorly made evidently), point. :( P.S.
