    The recent announcement of the PCGS awards for 2012, including the Low Ball Registry sets had me thinking. How many coin roll hunters out there are also putting together Low Ball sets?? Low Ball sets are almost non-existent in Canada, with the exception of the silver dollars. People look at me like I am crazy, when I tell them I have a Canadian small cent Low Ball set, and I find the thrill of sifting through a dealer's junk bin for that Fair-2 grade coin almost as much fun as finding a MS-65 in a BU roll.

    If anyone out there has a chance of finding Low Ball grade coins, it is the coin roll hunters. If any of you have lowball sets, please share some photos!

    a lowball set consists of the lowest possible grade for every coin in the set

    And in the registry sets, the point systems works like this: PO1=MS70 and MS70=PO1.

    PO1= MS70
    FR2= MS69
    AG3= MS68
    G4= MS67
    G6= MS64
    VG8= MS62
    VG10= MS60
    F12= AU58
    F15= AU55
    VF20= AU50
    VF25= XF45
    VF30= XF40
    VF35= VF35
    XF40= VF30
    XF45= VF25
    AU50= VF20
    AU55= F15
    AU58= F12
    MS60= VG10
    MS62= VG8
    MS64= G6
    MS66= G4
    MS67= AG3
    MS68= FR2
    MS69= PO1
