[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4476376, member: 112"]In the marketplace, yeah it does, granted. But the question is - should it ? Take a Jeff for example, the price difference between of 2 coins - same date/mint same grade, same TPG, but one with the designation and the other without it - the price of the one with it is going to be significantly higher than that of the one without it. But is that price difference justified ? Ya see, the coin without the designation might very well have a better strike in all other areas of the coin than the coin with the designation. But the coin without the designation didn't get the designation because there was a break in the lines of the steps. In other words, the coin without the designation is actually the better coin, but yet it sells for less. The exact same kind of thing is true with ALL special designations ! So what does that tell you ? Well, I dunno what it says to you, but I sure know what it says to me ! It downright screams to me that special designations are nothing more than just so much bull ![/QUOTE]
