    Great coins John.image
    Great coins are not cheap,and cheap coins are not great!
  • WOW! What an accomplishment.

    Would it be an understatement to say that you're closely watching the fate of the 1933 Double Eagles?

    Thanks everyone for the kind words!

    Hey JapanJohn, if they legalize the 1933 and add it to the series, I will have TWO slots that will be blank!

    What great sets! Question. On the $10 Indian set you have 7 MS67s, 5 MS65s, with all else being MS66. How is it that the average grade of the set is listed as less than MS66?

    Mesquite,

    I believe it all has to do with the WEIGHTING of each date as opposed to a true average grade. For example, the 1933 and Rolled Edge are weighted the most. So a 65 on any highly weighted date will bring the average down.

    The good news is that someday I expect my 1933 to be in a MS66 holder. In fact, I am convinced it will.....

    I looked at the sets this morning and still haven't thought of any appropriate words. Wow.
  • MesquiteMesquite Posts: 4,075 ✭✭✭
    Interesting that they weight the coins. Someday I'd like to hear a a reasoning for that protocol - to a non-grading collector it doesn't make sense to weight grades, well, maybe .... I guess I can see that your 1908 MS66 at 25/7 might not carry the weight of your 1911D at MS65 3/0 in terms of scarcity. So, are they really weighting coin pops? If so - they should not call it an average grade, but rather develop a scarcity index. Interesting. I'll have to think more about that. With the '33 having a MS65 pop of 8/0, how can you possibly do better? Are you anticipating that you have the only MS66 in the bunch?

    Mesquite,

    There was a NGC MS66 which sold not long ago at Stack's which Legend would proclaim to be the finest and which was the Kruthoffer PCGS MS65 coin. The coin fetched $720k at the Stack's sale.

    I haven't tried NGC and won't at this point but I hope that mine will upgrade someday when the stars are aligned properly.

    I do believe that PCGS has a weighting scale which you can view on any registry set. The weight of each date with the grade assigned will give you the set points. I am not really sure of the formula they use for the average grade but it can't be a pure average or the $10 Indians would be over 66. Who knows but it is a good question...

    I love Indian 10$'s. Very nice Jp.

    Phil does excellent work.

    Phil does excellent work.

    I believe he has gotten much better on his images. I would like to see more clarity and depth as the images still lack the ability to clearly see ticks and hits clearly. I am certain he will perfect this over time.

    The images are cool to have. I have gotten more comments now that there are actual photos attached to each coin.
