[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1413179, member: 75105"]I understand paying more money for coins with a largely noticeable difference in grade. I can see paying a lot more for an Au-50 2 cent piece over a good. There are cases where a coin in MS-63 may be worth as many as 2-5 times more than MS-60. $400 vs $2000 Here is an MS-60 Seated Half. [IMG]http://www.pcgs.com/images/photograde/250/Seated50-61o.jpg[/IMG] and here is a MS-63. [IMG]http://www.pcgs.com/images/photograde/250/Seated50-63o.jpg[/IMG] Would you pay for more the MS-63? I would not. The pepper toning is distracting. But....the 1871 in MS-60 retails for $500 while the MS-63 Retails for $1100, almost twice as much. Would you pay twice as much for something that does not look as good? I certainly wouldn't. But my point is...if there is only a teeny, tiny difference in a grade to the naked eye, why pay so much more for it?[/QUOTE]
