Why the pricing disparity ? Same coin, same dealer, same grade. 1 1

[Mr.Bill347]

It appears to me that the overall acceptance to the NGCX grading system is not catching on. Looks to me that the Sheldon scale is the way to go.

NGCX coins cannot be used in the NGC registry, it will be difficult for buyers to want to buy coins if using them in a registry is a part of the reason to buy.   Also there is still time on both of those auctions, it is possible that the ending prices will be closer.

🐓 There are too many variables to consider here.  The dealer is not a consideration.  An "auction," then in progress, is.  Same coin, same grade may be subject to conjecture. Would anyone call a race that has only reached the clubhouse turn?  What about packaging?  Is it not inherently unfair to compare a slab that is all gussied up with interesting and attractive graphics with one that isn't?  Can one extrapolate success or failure from any experimental, trial initiative still in its infancy?  For the most part, grading scales overseas embrace eight conditions + proofs. This race (likely over by now) represents but a drop in the ocean of moderns. Is it a portent of the future?  "The streets is watching," and so are NGC personnel. I have no opinion on the matter.

Part of the price disparity is probably because the top (NGC) coin is silver, and the bottom (NGCX) is clad.

I would imagine that would be the most significant reason for the disparity.
