<p>[QUOTE=&quot;muhfff, post: 2595390, member: 71559&quot;]Hi everybody!</p><p>Friend of mine draw my attention to the way the NGC registry points are calculated. It looks like the UNC Details is half of the MS60 points; AU Details is half of the AU50 points and so on. The result is, that for example Fine-12 gives more points than UNC details. </p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think, is it &quot;fair&quot;? Or where would you draw the line? I mean, in your opinion, what would be the equal clean grade for UNC details? Or AU details?</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally would prefer clean AU53-AU58 over UNC details, but in case of clean XF vs UNC details I would probably take UNC details (at least most of the time).</p><p>I don&#039;t know much about US coins, but in case of the world coins XF usually means, that finer details on coins are worn off and permanently gone. If I want to investigate for example the smaller details of the coats of arms of the 19th century russian rouble, then UNC details gives me more information. I can see more &quot;things&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I can always crack the UNC details coin out, wear it in my pocket some time and then get clean AU or XF (or some lower) grade. It doesn&#039;t work vice versa, what&#039;s gone is gone. But the strange thing is, that it would give me probably more points in NGC registry set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
