Almost,

That's a really neat coin by the way, goes really good with the notes. That depiction of a bird (or one very similar) is one of the watermarks on the notes right? You can't beat the price and first place to boot.

The most likely sets to have a chance at "worst of the best" are world countries, circulation issues (no proofs or precious metals), moderns and registries with only one participant. Also a minimum of one coin in the set. Using those criteria I started at the bottom with Zimbabwe and worked my way up, found a tie in Vatican City but found a new champ in Thailand and stopped.

Looks like it's going to be two years running.

my 1940s dime, while only graded as MS65FB this coin has been awarded a gold CAC bean and I believe that it would at least grade as an MS67FB coin today.

Ever think about resubmitting this one, that is a great looking dime. 

Never mind. I just read your notes on it. Good luck.

Ahh, I never noticed that function before. 

What did you do beat up the competition? Looks like you're at the top again.

Are PCGS coins always given 0 points?

I'm right there with you (95% collectibles), except I had %2 fashion. What!? I cannot for the life of me remember what that purchase was.

Three beauties!

Going through my own Got To Have It moment on the Bay now. All auction, all end at 1:30AM. Going to be a long night, a long expensive night .... Maybe 🙏 🤞.

Congrats.

Will you be crossing them?

Prices seam to have already been dropping, auctions on the Bay have PF70 examples selling for at or slightly above $1,500 you can find them at online retailers for under $3,000 or even under $2,000 depending on the label and COA#. With the shear number graded and the PF70 population climbing, the price has nowhere to go but down in the near future. In 10 years we'll see where everything levels off, if I was to guess I would think that around a $1,000 would be where the price ends up for PF70 graded examples. 

Hmm... Yes, I like it!

To the point, no unneeded fluff. Held my attention the whole time and that's no small feat.

I'd rather have the more-human presentation with the potential for a few small errors than the perfect robot presentation

Agreed, reading from a -script can really throw people off. Especially if they look off -script and loose there place, although that can be very entertaining. Always good to be accurate though.

Good Job,

That stinks,

I often see dates in the registry where there are massive score corrections to multiple sets and the corrections are typically reductions in points to most if not all coins in the sets. At least the sets that I've noticed corrections in. I'm not sure what triggers the corrections or what determines when the corrections are carried out but they seem to normally be punitive in nature, although it does look like there were a few corrections to the positive side on a few of the coins. All coins in all affected sets received the same deductions or increases based on the score given to that coins grade, it just sucks that the deductions and increases fell in such a way that rankings were changed in the sets.

It doesn't sound like you've gotten an answer as to why the corrections were made, if/when you do please pass it on as I would be curious to learn why the corrections were made as well. Was it a population increase, market value, opinion etc. Sorry about you luck, we've all been there. It's definitely a tough pill to swallow so close to the cut off.
