[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1613018, member: 112"]Actually I can tell you that. All coins in any given grade almost always have a very wide range when it comes to realized prices. I have explained this many times and anybody who checks realized prices will see the same thing over and over again. There are many factors (criteria) that constitute the grade of a coin. One can have better luster than another. One can have a better strike than another. One can have fewer contact marks than another, or marks in different places. One can have hairlines, another no hair lines. One can be a well centered coin and another not. One can have a crappy planchet and another a great planchet. Or it can be any combination of all of these - and yet every coin will grade exactly the same, by the same TPG. So you can't look at this coin that is graded XX and say that one over there cannot be the same because it is different. They can be the same, and different at the same time. In fact, they always are because every coin is unique.[/QUOTE]
