[QUOTE="JPeace$, post: 2092968, member: 42727"]Some of this already happens as you've already cited with the AU-58 vs. low MS 60's example. The part I've underlined actually does happen in a way, except for them possibly uttering the "tough luck part". It's why coins in the same grade sell for different prices. How many times when looking at a coin do you think it's overgraded? Undergraded? Either a judgement was made to market grade it or a grading error was made. When I go to buy a coin, I filter my search and then examine each coin looking for the best example. Often times, none of them meet my requirement, so I move on. In the MS64 vs. 65 example, it gets complicated. I was trying to give you an example of how I judge the coin and how it might relate to Art. Here are two MS65 saints, sold in 2015. I wouldn't buy either because of the head. One has a shot to the nose and one has no nose. Otherwise, very nice coins.
