However, there are only 6 graded 66+RD so far!!!! There are well over 100 coins in PCGS 66RD out there that have never been into SecurePlus regrading to see if they deserve a + as well. Until that happens (which it may never happen) collectors will never know how many of those coins really are 66+RD coins, surely a few of them will get the plus, but perhaps 20-30 or more of them are deserving?? So far I have seen collectors really hesitant to pay really strong premiums for + graded coins because it's not clear how many of them will ultimately exist. Another example of this is the 1909 Liberty nickel in MS66 which was a pop 22/0 coin for awhile. Then, once + grading came out, someone got one regraded MS66+ so that is now a pop 1/0 coin and the rest of us with MS66 coins suddenly have a pop 22/1 coin. Is the new MS66+ coin now worth a premium in the market??? Sure, I think it's worth a slight premium, especially for a Registry collector. But does it deserve a moon money premium that would be given to a true pop 1/0 coin?? Heck no, not until ALL of the other 21 MS66 coins go in for a shot a plus grade to see what the true population of MS66+ coins really is.  Accordingly, I think the SVDB 66+RD coins are worth some premium but not a crazy premium. Moreover, someone bidding on one of his 66+RD examples is likely to know that he also has 4-5 other MS66+RD examples which are likely to pop up in later sales.  That alone may reduce the selling prices knowning that several are likely to be available, and not just a single example.[/QUOTE]
