<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 641528, member: 4920&quot;]Take your time. In the meantime, I&#039;m at an advantage with a keyboard in front of me, so I&#039;ll tell you why it adds up that way. You have identifiable factors, such as the matte finish, and, OK, the &quot;unique&quot; surface reflectivity. Also, from an objective standpoint, you have the relatively low mintages. I thought you&#039;re asking premium pricing on these for those reasons. Oh, but they look so pretty for the way the &quot;unique&quot; surfaces tone--doesn&#039;t anybody else see that? Sure we do. But, proof surfaces and regular business strike surfaces of the same series and grade tone &quot;unique&quot; to those surfaces, too...so, where does that aspect get you, asking a premium? It gets you nowhere. MPLs tone differently. That&#039;s all there is to it. One could just as well argue those proofs and regular business strikes your buyers forgo to purchase the MPLs toned differently, as well. Thus, that&#039;s a wash, and hardly a ground for a premium on MPLs. OTOH, if the public accepted premiums on MPLs, across the grading spectrum, that, indeed, would be different. If the TPGs and price guides recognized those premiums, now they&#039;d be &quot;official,&quot; and the public would have to play along. Simply put, that would raise the bar on the starting point for negotiations on these. Do you see?</p><p><br /></p><p>OTOH, you&#039;re just enamored with these things and believe as such they rightfully should command premiums, forgive my abruptness, but they&#039;re <i>your </i>coins!
