[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3496204, member: 46237"]Do you have rules for whether or not you upgrade a coin? If so, share them. What I generally do for my sets: If the coin is < $100, I will generally do a 1 pt upgrade as long as it's also an improvement in eye appeal. For anything more expensive: For gold, I'd upgrade a 60/61 to a 62, anything higher, I'll generally do a 1pt upgrade if the eye appeal is significantly better. I think for gold, even a 1 pt upgrade can be a big improvement in eye appeal. For silver, I generally upgrade to 63, 65, and 67. Any other grades I consider if there's a big improvement in eye appeal, or if the coin is otherwise very rare and an intermediate grade is likely top pop. For base metals, I will generally upgrade to a 65, and anything else is based on eye appeal and rarity.[/QUOTE]
