<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 25518526, member: 36248&quot;]I&#039;d buy that coin.&nbsp; &nbsp; Has a nice look to it for a low ball, and I&#039;m not specifically a low ball collector.&nbsp; &nbsp; For me, I want the CAC sticker, I want the coin, and I like all the circulated grades, including Poor-1.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; If I can have&nbsp; a NICE poor-1 than I would personally like that better than an ugly Poor-1, but I do understand your point.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of the 10 point system used here by NGCx, and baseball / comics /CCG / etc,&nbsp; its basically 9 and higher, or nothing.&nbsp; The sole exception is really vintage Baseball and very key vintage comics.&nbsp;&nbsp; I dont think their will be NGCX collectors looking for a zero grade, or even a lower grade at all.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The entire point of that system is the high side of the scale, no thought or care about 8 or below, so it doesn&#039;t really matter that the conversion of AG3 or FR3 are both 1.5 or lack of a zero grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>By that I mean, people in other hobbies don&#039;t generally collect graded non-perfect items, its 9+ or nothing.&nbsp; &nbsp; By nothing, they keep it RAW.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; People crack out baseball, Magic the Gathering, Comics etc to free them of the plastic when its a non-perfect grade.&nbsp;&nbsp; Lower grade items sell better when raw than graded, at least according to all the baseball, comic, and MTG YouTube channels I regularly consume, and all the comments I have read/heard over many years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin collecting is a different animal.&nbsp;&nbsp; Circulated grades are very commonly collected, graded, and kept in TPG plastic.&nbsp; A low numeric grade coin in PCGS plastic is much more liquid than a raw low grade coin.&nbsp; So much in fact, that things like &quot;circ cam&quot; and &quot;low balls&quot;&nbsp; are popular and desirable.&nbsp; &nbsp; Many people also like the idea that a coin had a well traveled life in use before ending up in a collection, and dreaming of which famous person could have had that specific coin in their pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you do an eBay sold items search, and compare graded MTG cards vs coins, its night and day in terms of distribution across the grading scale.&nbsp;&nbsp; People like and collect graded coins from 70 down to 1.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; (and they would collect zero if possible)</p><p><br /></p><p>All this to say, NGCX might as well make their conversion chart as:</p><p><br /></p><p>70 = 10</p><p>69 = 9.9</p><p>68 = 9.8</p><p>67 = 0</p><p>66 = 0</p><p>65 = 0</p><p>etc...</p><p><br /></p><p>I think of NGCX as being primarily for non-coin collectors who are testing the waters on another hobby, and for those people its an all-or-nothing grading scale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
