My thoughts are that this concept will ultimately fail. The only coins that make sense to slab in the X holders are the Minnie Mouse Niue dreck of the world, because those coins don’t have to be explained to grandpa/ma buying the coin for the grandkids or as a store of value.
I do see value in slabbing lowball modern coins in the X holders. I think they will be intriguing and rare because the labeling will be limited / short lived.
Tightening the grading scale down to 10 from 70 doesn’t excite me. Widening it to 100 is when you’ll see the huge influx of regrading.
Show me a VF22 or an XF43.
That’s the point of it. A 1794 half currently in pcgs xf40 might change to an xf43 in a 100 point system, most likely adding value. That’s what the grading companies goals are, so that people continue to use their services. Just gotta create & teach the 100 point scale grading technique to the graders, which couldn’t be that difficult. From my understanding pcgs already uses a 700 point scale in order to determine plus grades.
I bet the graders at NGC on the 10 point scale have no clue about assigning those arbitrary grades. They probably still use the 70 point scale, and someone in the encapsulation process converts it. Like if grades say au53, the encapsulation person converts that to 8.3 (or whatever new number they use).
They will never make such fine distinctions. No one could tell the difference bergen a 41, 42, 43.

A lot. And the only reason you can make money slabbing the coins is because buy them. Ignore ChevyHearse, he's been lashing out at the forum ever since his 55/55 thread went downhill.
Real ones will keep using pcgs and the Sheldon scale
Real ones - who? Be specific, I am a 'real one' and probably won't do as you say above if given the chance to have a better numeric system of grading, and certainly I am all in for CACG for a TPG for US coins as least.
Best, SH
And sorry to beat a dead horse here but the new cac slabs they’re using the Sheldon scale!
So idk man maybe start a new thread about how you’re “all in” over at cac that could be fun
So? What is your point? You were saying 'real ones' will be using pcgs, I noted I will instead start using cacg instead of pcgs and that I am a 'real one', that is independent of any topic on NGCX and the 10 point grading scale versus the Sheldon scale that you specifically brought up and I responded to. Again, not sure of your point.

I was too lazy to get exact totals. However, PCGS has slabbed about 23 million coins per coinfacts. Of those 23 million, more than 12 million of them are "modern".
Note that "modern" is not strictly 1982 because PCGS doesn't break them down that way. So the 12 million "modern" to which I refer include Memorial cents, all Jefferson nickels, all Roosevelt dimes but I left out all "Washington quarters" to balance but included the State quarters and ATB etc. All Kennedy halves and all dollars from Ike onwards.
More interesting, perhaps, if you look at the November to December totals. The overall number of coins increased by approximately 90,000 coins. Of the most recent 90,000 coins graded: 24,000 are bullion, 2,000 are modern commems, 3000 are Susan B and later dollars, 4800 are Kennedy halves, 12,000 are Washington quarters, 5500 are Jefferson Nickels, 5000 are Roosevelt Dimes and 4100 are Memorial Cents. That means "moderns" make up 2/3 (over 60,000) of newly graded coins.
Sheldon has started having some of the blanks filled in already with the + grades. But never did understand why so many gradations were skipped. Why 50 53 55 58, why not use the whole range of numbers.
But anything is still better than good being poor, very fine being good, “almost” being anything, etc. whoever came up with the original system must have needed glasses and had a poor understanding of the English language.
Does anyone know what system the new CAC will be using?
Too much fragmentation and division in the world as it is. I remember all the over-educated arguments on switching to metric 50 years ago and that system did not fly in the US and many other countries. If it's not broken don't fix it. We're coming out of a stressful and divisive pandemic, the economy is in recession, time to take stock of current social conditions and enjoy what we already have instead of grasping for more.

I fail to see what any of that has to do with adopting a grading system that every other collectible already uses. There doesn't need to be any divisiveness. It's the pro-Sheldon people that are seeding it. I'm perfectly happy to have both. Since i also sell stamps, comics and toys, I already use the 10 or 100 point scales.

CAC will be sticking with the Sheldon scale when they open their doors in 2023. If the 10 NGCX takes off, and that is an if, then who knows where numi grading will be in say a decade? Who knows if CACG will be around then as well? These things need to play out.................

It isn't helpful or needed. They already tried the Unc slabs which may be imprecise but filled a niche. People who are constantly looking to change what is already working should examine how inefficient and wasteful changeovers can be and have been.

People HATED TPG's in the first place. I still know people who refuse to use them. And they don't have to, if they don't want to. And you don't have to EVER buy a coin in a 10 holder. If you do, go ahead and crack it out.
Maybe not for you but if you don't like the service, you don't have to use it. Do you suppose it's possible others might have a different opinion? What's the problem with having choices?

There has not been a change in the grading of numismatic coins in 70 years so I am not sure about your statement 'constantly looking for change'. Instead we've used an archaic numeric system of grading for large cents from a different era (with a few modifications over time such as +, star, fb, etc.) that has constantly held numismatics back in the bigger world of collectables. This is not going to be inefficient and wasteful if it takes hold, because the current backward thinking system is just that. So a change after 70 years might actually be a positive for numismatics and if it is adapted across the larger US and World coin market, I am sure it will be after transition.
This change will happen because it is better. It may not be now, but it will bc it is a necessary solution to a better numeric grading system.
It won’t be a better system mark my words
The Sheldon scale is not hard to understand
I don’t want coins to be compared to basketball cards, Pokémon cards, comics ect.
The current Sheldon scale does not need to be replaced to get more people collecting coins
I think the coin market is doing pretty good

The parent company of PCGS - Collectors Universe, for whom you said that 'real ones' will buy their product and not other TPG's, would disagree with you about coins being related to Pokémon etc. (not ect.) bc they grade them all. Pokémon rules at the Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), the sibling company to PCGS. Marketing is what it is but imagine if good ole pokies were graded on the Sheldon scale. How far would that go LOL.
PSA has all of the same things they do for PCGS - price guides, population reports, there is a great market in collectables that coins need to be part of by going to a base 10 grading system.

Pokémon rules at the Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), the sibling company to PCGS. Marketing is what it is but imagine if good ole pokies were graded on the Sheldon scale. How far would that go LOL.
PSA has all of the same things they do for PCGS - price guides, population reports, there is a great market in collectables that coins need to be part of by going to a base 10 grading system.
Wrong one
Making memes on you computer of baby’s crying kinda ironic
Take some lsd
Oh god when the Pokémon cards come out that’s when I go peace guys hope the 10 point scale works for you and you make tons and tons of money
What does whether someone has a copy of Breen’s encyclopedia have to do with this thread?

Also not sure how the lsd argument comes into play again. I’ve taken plenty of lsd in my high school years but I’m curious how you think it would affect @MasonG ‘s Perspective on collectibles grading.
