<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 24554046, member: 13650&quot;]This numbering system was dreamed up by a company and NGC agreed to do this little experiment shall we say,&nbsp; on the side.&nbsp; The company acquires the coins, pays NGC to grade and sort the coins into 3 different tiers and packs the boxes with 3 coins to a box.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Vault Box series 1 was limited to 800 boxes or 2400 coins in slabs like this.&nbsp; Mostly ASEs with some nicer ones sprinkled in with red cores instead of black.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Vault Box series 2 saw the number of boxes doubled to 1600 or so available and the price raised to $729 a box.&nbsp; It just released last week and sold out in less than 30 minutes.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; So the average guy like any of us here, can’t submit coins and have them graded with this new grading system.&nbsp; It’s just for the vault box series and they’re not necessarily doing this for experienced collectors like you find here.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The company’s idea is to add random excitement to the coin hobby like people are already experiencing in the sports card hobby.&nbsp; I’ve been watching people rip open $500 packs of Pokémon cards, Star Wars cards etc hoping to get a major hit.&nbsp; They sell extremely fancy sports cards now in silver brief cases already in plastic cases inside.&nbsp; These briefcases sell for 4 to 5 figures and many people lose money on them.&nbsp; But people are searching for the big name one of one autographed patch card worth $25k or whatever.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; Vaultbox is doing it with coins now.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; It’s like a wax pack of sports cards just with slabbed coins.&nbsp; 3 in a box.&nbsp; One will be the lowest tier.&nbsp; The second will be a second tier and the third coin will be the most valuable and could be anything.&nbsp; They sprinkled in some super sets in series 2.&nbsp; One box has a 1995-W ASE,&nbsp; a 2020 AGE V75 and a $100 platinum proof.&nbsp; Imagine opening that box!&nbsp; 1 in 1600 chance.&nbsp; Limit 2.&nbsp; But costs $729 for your ticket!&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; It’s not for everyone and many people don’t agree with it.&nbsp; I find it interesting but it’s too much to risk on a gamble for me.&nbsp; I just wanted to explain here where the new grades are coming from to dispel confusion.&nbsp; They’re limited runs and not anybody can submit coins and get them graded like this.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;So far the company is a hit on secondary market.&nbsp; The unopened boxes list for double issue price on aftermarket and many of the coins in these special slabs are supposedly going for double what they normally would.&nbsp; &nbsp; The red core ones are the nicest and only about 7% got the red core in first run.&nbsp; &nbsp; The company will buy any of them back as well for a strong price.&nbsp; So there’s that too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
