<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MikeF, post: 2842475, member: 89683&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>Was hoping that some of the experts here could help me with the concept of relative pricing.

Far be it from me to question PCGS, but maybe somebody could help a newb understand what the relative value of these coins is? I have no idea how they make such fine differentiations between a 64 and a 65, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
