Seems to me that sometimes collectors consider nothing more than the grade on the label when deciding the value of a coin. The fact is, two coins of the same grade can have different values. Look at these two:

They are from the same submission, and both are graded MS66CAM. Clearly, the second one is superior in contrast, and a smart collector would be willing to pay more for it than the first.
