<p>[QUOTE="RedTiger, post: 1192818, member: 19098"]A person can look up the pop reports through the Heritage auction archives. Often times the pops will indicate why the PCGS coin costs more. Often times there are fewer examples at that grade. To take a hypothetical, if the pops are 500 coins for NGC 67 and 50 at PCGS 67, the market price for the PCGS coin is likely to be higher. As the price difference widens at auction, many of the NGC coins, get tried for crossover. If many make it, the price difference flattens, if they fail, which is the usual event, the price difference may widen. Registry set competition also causes distortions in pricing for top pop coins. For the person looking to buy, best to research typical auction results, and also learn the finer points of grading before spending the big money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
