you're missing my point. those heat maps will help you determine where to look for points of low strike and help you determine the depth of...
the demand is easy to induce... simply stop printing $1 bills done and done
not to play devil's advocate here, but one thing absent from all of the calculations is the number of resubmissions.
There is a great book called "Making The Grade" published by Coin World which includes maps of each US coin series. The maps show where the first...
grades above MS-65 are less defined by marks (or lack thereof), but by completeness of strike and in comparison to other coins of the same date...

This might be the most likely scenario. A new 100 point (with decimal) grading system will give new standards to grade to, will be recognizable as...
then you are suggesting a complete slab re-design and an almost immeasurable marketing OOPS??? How do they wipe the egg from their face when...
What market force do you suggest will encourage people to re-submit their coins?
a better potential next step to your process, Doug is this: All graded coins are re-submitted. Those that are overgraded are re-graded for free....
and I value them all. Thanks for everyone's opinions!

I know I asked for opinions, and as such they can be anything, but... on what planet is this a VG reverse? Full Horn = VF this coin has 3/4...
yes, Ken. You can't melt nickels and cents. The silver was issued at a value that was (close to) on par with their value. The melting (also...
but I see PCGS slabs that say "lamination error" all of the time... is this different?
