[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 869535, member: 17555"]Round 3 recap: Man, ya'll really submitted responses to this one fast,, so what the heck, lets turn three rounds this week. I'll try to keep it to 2 rounds per week, especially if I see many regulars without reply. First, the voting came back 6 to 1 in favor of a scoring change... So consider it done. Given the more static nature of the new scoring system, I have decided to up the dropped score ratio from 1 every 11th grade, to 1 every 16th grade. Net should be 1 less dropped score at the end of the game,, around 48 coins total in the exercise.,,, so 3 dropped scores vs. 4,,, provided you submit a grade for every coin in the exercise. Net of scoring chang is that old was "avg points from actual tpg grade", new will be "avg grades from actual tpg grade".... so less heavily weighted towards the lower range and now evenly weighted across all grade ranges. Another good group of submissions in round 3. Welcome Marauderrt.... Chip and mumu, no submissions... hope we didn't go too fast on this round,, ya'll let me know if you'd like to slow the pace to 2 per week only... Wed & Sat updates. I just wanted to get the new grading changes out there while they were fresh in my mind. Pretty solid round for everyone.... PCGS grades: 1883CC - MS64 - CAC'ed... pretty coin.. 1949D - MS65 - D/S..think I noted it too early,, will not do that in the future and will let ya'll call it if you see it..... but will not score against you if you don't. Only thing that counts against you would be BB attributes like cleaned, or corrosion, or questionable color, etc.... I'm gonna count those at 5 pt misses in this exercise.. there will not be many, fewer than you'll have dropped scores at the end of the game. NGC grades: 1922S - MS62... one of the tougher ones this round PCI (gold label) grades: 1945 - MS65.. almost everyone got this one. Observations: 1883CC was cac'ed,, so borderline grader I guess,, and the 22S was a tough call IMO, as 58,60,61, and 62's always are. Awards for this set of cents: Best - bqcoins - .25 > Almost an exacta,, would be our first ever. maybe next time. HA - bigjpst - 1.25 ;) Others: Leadfoot - 1.0 Marauderrt - .75... good start Lehigh - .75 Swish - .50 Rlm's - .50 Raider - .50 Duke - .50 Badthad - 1.0 Official rankings are coming out in round 4, try to get your picks in quickly again so we can jump back on schedule by Saturday... One to round 4...........[/QUOTE]
