[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 5224, member: 708"]Well my rule has always been, if i come across two UNC coins then i usually get the better looking one of the two, they are usually the same price anyhow, but on occasions you have to pay a few quid extra for the nicer eye appeal, but we as collectors (and the dealers) don't bother distingushing between a lower UNC and a middling UNC, it's just UNC as far as we are concerned, and they sell for the same price generally. Which means some of you USians could make a killing over here shipping coins over to the US and grading them as MS whatever and getting a huge price jump between one grade and the next. I remember one coin dealer had a William IV sovereign graded by PCGS no less, as AU58, the dealer was selling it at EF prices because he thought the grade on the holder was just way off. I asked what grade he thought it was, he said it's a good EF but nothing as good as AUNC. He's been in the trade for the past 35 years so who was i to argue?[/QUOTE]
