<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3986981, member: 46237&quot;]There are a lot of collectors who have a grade floor for their collections, i.e. a grade, below which, they are not interested in a coin for their set. This floor depends on the series or rarity, but for many series, a floor of MS60-XF45 is quite reasonable, as there are enough coins available to complete a set above those grades. The difference you see between these grades then, in part, is due to a sharp dropoff in demand below AU50. In addition to this, and as others have mentioned, for many series, coins of XF and below are simply more plentiful than AU and above as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>So now you have a very high supply of XF coins, coupled with a sharp decrease in collector demand. This pushes the price down in this grade. The AUs may be much rarer, and add to that significantly higher collector demand, and this pushes the price higher, creating the spread you see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
