<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 4872691, member: 60292&quot;]Would most (all?) collectors prefer an MS70 at an equal or slightly higher price than any other grade? Sure. However, from my experience as a seller, most collectors are not willing to pay double (sometimes more) for a 70 compared to the price of a 69. The major reasons pricing for a 70 is so much higher are...</p><p><br /></p><p>1) the illusion that you are getting a perfect coin. Not the case. If you look close enough you will always find a flaw. I can&#039;t tell you how many times I&#039;ve compared 70s to 69s and you don&#039;t see an overall difference, at least not one to justify paying much more. More times than not the two grades are of similar condition. If 90+% of the time the difference in grade was noticeable, I would say maybe it&#039;s worth the much higher premium. This lack of consistency though does not warrant the higher price, in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Registry collectors who just want those extra points.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From an investment standpoint, common date ASEs are nowhere near the top of the list of best coins to invest in. I don&#039;t think you&#039;ll find disagreement from anyone on that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do believe however that they have some investment potential from collectors in the future wanting to build a full set (1986-last date). This is the same reasoning for my belief that graded ASEs may have some future investment potential. That&#039;s not to say they&#039;ll ever be the best investment. That&#039;s a different conversation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
