The Details Discount Thread

I see that a couple have not chosen a numerical grade, some have. I know not all TPGS put the numerical grade on the slab, only the category such as XF, or AU on details coins...??? Also... attributes???

I'm going to call this, as the second guess was spot on for price!

It was $27.99. I bought it raw, and submitted it at the Summer FUN show to ANACS.
Came back as XF40 - Details - Damaged (No environmental damage, just the hit on the reverse I'm guessing)

So I guess @ron_c is up?

 

I think it might be a little better if we also have to guess the alpha grade, maybe not the numeric. So we would guess whether it is G, VG, VF, MS, AU, etc, but not guess the numeric, since (as @Johndoe2000$ pointed out), not all TPG's give details coins a numeric grade assignment.

So we would guess;
1) Price (paid or sold, decided by person posting the coin)
2) details/straight
3) reason for details/no reason for straight
4) alpha grade

I would also maybe go with points as:
2 for price
1 for each of the other catagories

???

 

For this to work, there can't be a grade offered in the initial coin post.

 

Unfortunately, I'm going to be busy today and I don't have anything to post at this time anyway.

So, I will have to pass this time and let someone else post something.

 

Correct, and I think that would also help with our grading skills. It's just a thought for a way to overcome the non-numeric grade given to details coins.

Points Table
Beefer518 - 4 Points
ron_c - 4 Points

Johndoe2000$ - 2 Points
IBetASilverDollar - 1 Point
charlietig - 1 Point
jwitten - 1 Point
ddddd - 1 Point

 

Let's do that.

So it will go this way:

Step 1) Someone will post a picture (both sides) with the grade hidden (basically like a Guess the Grade thread) and mention if they are looking for the price paid or sold (decided by person posting the coin).

Step 2) Then everyone else will guess:

i) Price (paid or sold, decided by person posting the coin)
ii) details/straight
iii) reason for details/no reason for straight
iv) alpha grade (i.e. G, VG, F, ... , AU, MS) {no numbers}

Step 3) Original poster will grade as follows:

*2 marks for price (i)
*1 mark for each of the other categories (ii-iv)
...so max possible is 5 marks....whoever has the most marks will win that round and be award 1 point (and posting privileges)

...note: (iii) "reason for details" will be left for the original poster to determine...if it's close, they can choose to award the mark or not to award it (i.e. if the coin has "environmental damage" but someone simply says "damage")


Hopefully I haven't made this overly complicated...

 

I like it.
So who is up?

 

Pretty sure it's @ron_c

 

ron_c passed so the floor is open...

 

A hole filler for right now,
Give me a minute.

 

The slab says DDO FS-108 Die 8.I'd like to crack this one, for right now, it is a hole filler.
What did I pay. If it's anyones concern it is a stage C.

 

I'm horrible at Lincolns
