<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1803591, member: 112&quot;]For whatever it is worth Paul I don&#039;t consider either of those coins Red. The criteria for Red is that 95% or more of the coin has to be original mint red. Neither of those coins meet that criteria, don&#039;t even come close. And no, I don&#039;t believe either them did when they were slabbed either.</p><p><br /></p><p>But that is not the point I was making. The only reason I chose those two coins to begin with is because that the OP started the thread with - an 1853 large cent. The point I am making that with any given coin, in any given grade, slabbed by the same company, and sold at about the same time, and by the same seller, even if you have 10 or more examples, you are going to find a very wide range of realized prices. Often with 1 coin or more selling for double what all the others did.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words most folks expect coins of the same grade, same slab to be the same or roughly the same value. But as a general rule that just doesn&#039;t happen very often. Instead, values are all over the map.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
