Two 1940 PCGS MS67 Walkers... Why is one worth almost twice as much as the other?

These sold at Heritage recently:

$575

$1035

It's not obvious to me why one is so much more desirable than the other. Can anyone comment?

Thanks,

Dan

Is it possible two people saw it thinking it could go 8?

Or during that one auction the bidder had a customer for it.

Many possibilities.

Could be, Jeremy... MS68 is tough, though!

Good point Cameron...

In many more recent series, more than a hint of toning [but not enough to be considered colored] is a liability and will reflect in the price realized.

The luster on the first one seems to leave a lot to be desired. You can buy a blazing MS66 with marks seen only under a glass for less than half the price realized. Except for the registry crowd, who'd want to own a subdued MS67 at more than twice the price over an MS66 dripping with luster?
