<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 3670254, member: 22377&quot;]At least two of those Barbers look a point too high even without the unattractive eye appeal. The last one is in an older holder, so there is a chance that it may have been blast white and turned in the holder over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I still vote for neither downgrading nor upgrading. If you placed two technical 65s in an auction-an ugly one like one of the three above and an attractively toned one-the nicer coin would sell for a significant premium while the below average would sell for guide/average or even less. </p><p><br /></p><p>The market can be quite efficient without extra help from the graders.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you take the ugly technical 65 and make it a 64 and take the nice technical 65 and make it a 66 or higher, the value gets distorted. The 64 sells for even less than a typical 64 while the 66 sells at a significant premium to a typical 66. </p><p><br /></p><p>I watched it happen with that 65+ toned Morgan. It sold for $660 in the original holder, then around $2,600 in the 67+ holder, and now it’ll be $5k+ if AB sells it in the 68 holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
