So do you want a spreadsheet that compares any two MERC sets?

I do not collect them, but from what I see it is VERY competetive and I really like that all of the sets are OPEN for everyone to enjoy. So if you want a spread sheet like the one I have out there for Lincolns, just drop me a note with the corrections to the "finest known" list that I have below. I THINK the only ones that I have wrong are the ones with the '*' in front

From my calcs, I think I am missing 9 points, and since there are 9 coins that are NOT the finest knowns, I am guessing I should add one to each * coin (but with rounding I am not 100% sure)

Paul,

Check your e-mail. I think I took care of your answers on finest knowns.

Thanks,

It is done, I just left it at home and I am at work right now. I will upload it tonight.

Interesting that some of the PCGS calculations are wrong. They are giving someone's AG03 1916-d 3 points (btw this is set up for the weights when ever they come out). Shouldn't it be 3-2=1 since I doubt it is AG03FB?

DeepCoin

You only subtract 2 points from MS coins that are not FB. For example and MS62 only gets 60 points. However an XF45 still gets 45 points. There is no expectation that non MS coins would have full bands. None of my set contains full bands!....

That seems weird. This is what they are doing, but not what they say. On the page it says "A two point deduction is taken if the coin is not Full Band".

Guess I have to change my sheet a bit (and I also guess this will change with the weights since they will probably give a "bonus" for FB and not a deduction for NOT having them/it)
