When we mention UPGRADE. What

What is an upgraded coin etc.. Same year same coin (1916d merc.). or different metals or older (same type). Or younger period. Or your ideas. Humor me

To me upgrade means better condition of the same coin.

 

Hmm? What gives with the scratch tickets? Did you win at least?

 

I just "upgraded" the 1886 T2 in my IHC registry set from MS63 to MS64RB.

 

I guess for a type set you could "upgrade" to a rarer date/mint, but even then, "upgrade" really makes me think of a grade improvement first.

 

Jack Daniels is a good entry point. Blanton's is an upgrade.

 

5 bucks

 

Thanks.

 

If I had an AU58 1960 Quarter...

Then had the opportunity to swap it out with an AU55 1960 Quarter that Elvis Presley was documented to have swallowed and pooped out at some point....

I would consider the swap out to be an upgrade

 

Lord Almighty!

 

Upgrade is having a coin, any coin, any mint mark. Taking the same coin snd mint mark but at a higher grade is an upgrade. You could upgrade a F-12 coin to a F-15 or higher.

 

Wouldn’t get an Au55 grade cuz it’s cleaned. @-jeffB

 

This is a silly quest and sillier replies.

I, and of course it is well known that I know stuff, have decided that I will settle this question:

The answer is embedded in the OP, via the words "...or younger period.." (and this was a simple error of not using one of these (.), which yields the answer- "...or younger. Period.".

Thus, upgrading HER has been a 54 year quest of mine, and I can not seem to find a younger version that is willing to clean the toilets and the bathtub everyday, vacuum the entire house everyday, cut the lawn using my non-motorized push mower twice a week Spring and Summer and Fall (I am not spending any Wampum for the motorized version and then have to buy more stuff like filters and spark plugs and gas), and physically fit and can properly shovel snow regardless of depth, and does not snore or move around when sleeping in the same bed with me (which I do my best to encourage HER to seek alternative resting locations and to help, I put a blanket in carport).

So, I keep searching for an Upgrade.

It is challenging.

 

Did you know at the lottery website you can find out what tickets have been bought and won in a series?
Might help with the win rate...
An Upgrade is just that, a step up in grade.

 

That's how I pick my tickets when I do buy them. No sense buying tickets to a game that has few or no big prizes left.

 

I have 90% of what you said so I’m not looking to upgrade. I’m happy with what I have. Smiles

 

Doesn't have to be a higher grade to be an upgrade. It just has to be "better".

That could mean same grade but an improvement on eye appeal. That could mean same grade but a better designation or pedigree.

It could even be an upgrade going to a lower grade. We all know there are many coins out there where you could replace a real dog of an MS60 with a really nice technical AU58 and have it be a significant upgrade.

I've certainly declined to "upgrade" some of the coins in my collection because my example had superior eye appeal over a technically higher graded example. I've also got many coins in my collection where I've upgraded the slot for a registry set but I still keep a lower graded example because it's the better coin.

 

Yes, an upgrade doesn't always mean a higher grade number. I still have yet to find a type set large cent I like better than my "lowly VG 1850".


I like chocolate...

 

Okay. Chocolate is good...
