Re: Coin Entry to a Registry Set.
One way to see what a coin is worth for a registry: 1. add all the weights for each of the coins in the set, this is TOTAL SET WEIGHT 2. (coin grade * weight)/TOTAL SET WEIGHT = registry points example: the Morgan Dollar TSW is 435. A 1904-S has a weight of 7 so, an MS-64 1904-S would be worth (64*7)/435 or 1.029 registry… -
Re: Half Grades: A Slight To The High-End Set Builder?
Okay, bear with me because this is a little long-winded, but I've been tossing this idea around and I'd like to know what you guys think: Since it looks like PSA is not asking for our opinions, the .5 appears to be here to stay. I won't repeat what everyone has already said about how this will have a negative impact on… -
Re: Weighting Issue -- PSA response requested...
Hello everyone, As many of you know, the weighting on some of the sets has changed in the last week. What Joe Orlando is trying to accomplish is a more proportional breakdown in the weighting. But from this thread and some email we have received, it is clear that this issue is controversial and one that requires some more… -
Re: Merc Set
Mark: The way that NGC has thier Weighting system set up has wrecked the Registry as far as I am concerned. Heck, any Moron can take a Blue Sheet or anyother Price Sheet and Weight a Series as well as they did. Rarity of a coin within the series has nothing to do with the Weighting. Price is the only thing that matters. I… -
Re: How come WORTH is not taken into consideration when rating a set ?
I just do not understand why everyone gets worked up over their ranking in the registry. If you own a MS68 condition rarity even if it only has a weight of 1 you are still ahead of the other guy who owns an MS67. So a collector has a 1932D quarter with a weight of 10 in XF-45 and gets 450 points. Who cares, when you get… -
Re: Can I petition PCGS to revise the weight of a coin?
Yes, it is possible. Bear with me on this as I researched your question, I found a discrepancy. In the silver Roosevelt dime collection I contacted registry concerning the 1959 P fb which a 2 weight coin with 1396 in all fb grades, whereas the 1958 P fb was a single weight coin but only 130 in all fb grades. Less than 10%… -
Question about NGC weighting systems vs PCGS
As I look through the NGC weighting system for set registry's, it dawned on me that NCG has a better system for getting at the real rarity weighting based on two factors: Date rarity AND Grade rarity. I think this is a better mouse trap than the one created by PCGS, and here's are my reason's why! 1) Condition census coins… -
Complete Lincoln Registry Set, A breakdown of subsets
The Complete Lincoln Registry Set is a monster of a set, currently standing at 339 coins (through 2005), and includes all mint state, proof, and varieties (which are in the traditional sets) which can now be considered subsets of the Complete Lincoln Set 1909 to Present. I thought it would be interesting to see how PCGS… -
Re: MTG: Alpha Set Weighting
Set Registry Rules Relevant Bits "Grade Points, Set Ratings and Weighting Set rankings are determined by the grades of the items in the set, the "weight" assigned to each item in the set, and the set's completeness. Each item within the set is assigned a item rating based on the value of the item in NM-MT condition. For… -
Re: Let Us Discuss The PCGS Ratings System and Coins Within Which Have Ratings That Are Near Insanity
I believe some folks are not understanding the weighting component for rating coins in the registry. As @MetroD correctly pointed out above, the math used by PCGS is correct for weighted sets. Weighting is used to indicate some level of demand, rarity, population, price, or some combination of factors that show a certain…
