<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 4652652, member: 78244&quot;]Here is an example of this. These are both the same date, both MS, both are the same variety. The first is graded MS-62 BN by NGC, the second MS-63 BN by PCGS. The second one should be worth more, right? WRONG!</p><p><br /></p><p>The 63 has very unattractive carbon spots on both sides, environmental damage above the head, and fairly dull luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 62 has some spots, but they don’t detract heavily from the eye appeal. There is no environmental damage, and the luster is booming. The surfaces are colorfully toned as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 62 would be an easy sell at $750, which is 63 money. The 63 is having issues selling at low 63 money, and would probably sell for close to high 62 money. The lower graded coin is simply the nicer coin, even though the holder doesn’t say so. The more experienced you become, you will start noticing this more and more. The collectors whose collections do the best upon reselling are the ones who recognize this. Those who seek the lowest price for a certain grade (or just pick/price a coin because of the grade on the label) are the ones who lose money.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1148852[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1148855[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1148856[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1148857[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1148858[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
