<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 472372, member: 112&quot;]The fact remains, the market price is the market price. And the market price is set by collectors - those actually buying the coins. So it must be worth it to somebody. And there really aren&#039;t all that many collectors involved in the registry programs, so the registry doesn&#039;t have as much impact as people give it credit for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Conditional rarity is a fact of life. With some coins it is quite easy to find them graded MS64. But finding one graded MS65 is not easy. And when that happens the price goes up. It&#039;s not really hard to understand that part.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, what most find hard to understand is <u>why</u> another collector would pay so much more for a 1 or 2 point grade difference. But the answer isn&#039;t hard at all - it&#039;s because it makes them special to own something that not everybody can own. It makes them feel good about themselves. And to a lot of people, that&#039;s worth a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
