New Slot Needed for 1982 DDR Libertad Variety

[mackbrass]

Can you create a new slot for the 1982 1oz BU libertad DDR variety. I just submitted the first one to NGC and it came back MS66 DDR. Thanks, tom

Thanks for the request, Tom.

We did receive the message through the system, and we have already added the slot and your coin, as well.

Thanks. I do have a question, how are points determined? My thinking with the 82 DDR is that this may become the most elusive coins to find in the series. The main thing about this DD is if you don't know what to look for, most will never find one as the doubling is not as obvious as in other double die varieties. The 82 DDR took 34 years to come to the surface so i would have thought it would be worth a little more.

 

Thanks again for your help,

Hello, Tom.

Population is one of many factors included in the scoring program developed by our senior team. Here is a brief description of how our scoring algorithm, designed by our senior numismatic team, works:

 

We place a score value on each coin that is based on the relative rarity of its type, date and grade. This value takes many factors into account such as grade, population, market value, eye appeal and expert opinion. When a set is ranked in the registry, its rank is judged based on the total of the individual scores of all the coins.

 

As a basic guide to our system, collectors can look to the market as an excellent method of comparing the relative rarity of one coin to another. There is simply no better indicator of how much a coin is desired.

 

There is, however, no one perfect source that accounts for all the elements needed to be considered when ranking sets in the Registry. Comparative values of coins in the market can appear distorted (especially at the top end). On the other hand, the grades alone are a poor indicator of how much "finer" a coin is because the grade does not reflect the rarity of a coin.

 

Through extensive market research, we are able to provide a ranking system that recognizes the intelligence of the market, but offers a more true reflection of relative rarity than does market value, because it appropriately adjusts for market distortions.

 

Thank you, and please let us know when we may assist next.
