<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 923174, member: 15309&quot;]This thread will be a little different than your typical guess the grade thread.&nbsp; Since everyone loves the mantra of &quot;buy the coin not the plastic&quot;, I thought it would be fun to employ grading skills in a real world situation that involves a financial decision.&nbsp; After all, before you can determine a price of a coin, you must first determine the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Imagine that you have to choose between the following two coins for your Jefferson Nickel registry set.&nbsp; Each coin is graded by NGC but lets pretend that you don&#039;t know what the assigned grades are.&nbsp; For the purposes of this thread, we will assume that the coins are authentic and are not problem coins.&nbsp; We will also assume that you have $500 to spend but must choose only one of the two coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><span style="color: Blue">Coin #1</span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickel%20Registry/JeffersonNickel1964NGCMSXX.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><span style="color: Blue">Coin #2</span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickel%20Registry/JeffersonNickel1964NGCMSXXStar.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, which one would you choose and why?&nbsp; Please vote in the attached poll.&nbsp; If you feel so inclined, tell us your reasons for your choice.&nbsp; If you decide to opine, please tell us how you graded each coin, what price you were willing to pay for each coin, which one you would choose, and the factors that influenced your decision.&nbsp; Hopefully this exercise will prove more thought provoking and educational than a typical guess the grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
