Problem with collecting coins, and the reason I dropped out of the hobby years ago is, for the same coin:
Brilliant Uncirculated 70 = $$$$$$$$$$$
Brilliant Uncirculated 69 = $$$$$$$$$
Brilliant Uncirculated 67 = $$$$$$$
Brilliant Uncirculated 65 = $$$$$
Brilliant Uncirculated 63 = $$$
Brilliant Uncirculated 60 = $$ (Actually the upper grades are broken down into 11 grades from 70 to 60, I skipped a few)
Almost Uncirculated or less = $ or less (down to face value)

The grading of high-end coins is so technical that you have to go by what others say, like the grading companies (which you pay through the nose to use). You can no longer do it on your own. And dealers always sell at higher grade and buy at lower grade for the same coin.
