<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 2016279, member: 30574&quot;]Yeah, it easy to think I would like it because it makes my coins worth more, but I really don&#039;t think that is the end state. Like I said, the market adjusts and it would be a zero sum game.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now a question, why would you want to jam all those coins into a 63 holder? That seems to be your most popular grade.&nbsp; So you have some 63&#039;s that are lower quality, some average, and some dang fine coins so the value of the 63 coin is quite variable as there is a wide range of coins. Now if you get &quot;looser&quot; and start utilizing the upper lever grades more, you shoud wind up with only the lower quality coins in 63 holder and the grade becomes more consistent and easier for the market to determine value based on grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a little bit with the numbers. Let&#039;s pick a random number and say there are 5000 Mint State examples of a certain coin.&nbsp; If you are jamming 98% those coins in holders marked 64 or below that puts an average of just under 1000 per grade.&nbsp; Now if you use looser standards and put 98% of those coins in holders 67 or below you average around 650 coins per grade, and hopefully the result of that is less variability within the grade. Now when some says they are sell a 65 coin, you should a much better idea about what 65 really means and market values should be more consistent. Under your system, if you tell me your a selling a 63 coin, now I have to start asking. Uh, is it a nice 63? No? Okay is it an average 63? And this of course makes valuing the coin so much more difficult.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
