<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 921783, member: 22004&quot;]If you look at the Heritage Auction or other auction archives you will see a substantial range of prices for a given coin and grade.&nbsp; But you will not see a hugely higher hammer price in the $20 Liberty or SG series of a given date and grade unless the coin has upgrade potential. The saying &quot;it&#039;s in the holder&quot; forgives a lot with a coin unless it has defects which will detract from price but also may have been factored in with the grade the coin achieved. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If a coin is a &quot;liner&quot;, it will probably be resubmitted or sent for the CAC sticker or a plus designation.&nbsp; Extremely rigorous examination of coins for upgrade potential may be detracting from the enjoyment of the hobby, but that is another issue.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Why not an AU59, or other unused numbers in the XF to AU 58 scale? If more numbers, fractions of numbers, etc. were to be added to the Sheldon Scale, it would probably create healthy competition for re-submissions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
