Hate to tell you, but they're not all the same. They're graded differently in the south than in the north. It's got to do with how prime they are, how full the coat is, color, size, ect. A southern coon is worth less on the dollar because they have no need to grow as thick of a coat due to milder winters. You can get on the NAFA website and they have a section that tells you how they grade them and shows a map as to where the most valuable pelts come from. The most valuable is the northwestern region, which is michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Places like that. Especially with coons being worth less there, it almost makes what you have not worth the time for someone to do unless they're fleshed, dried and stretched already.
