That's exactly what any "new" system will effectively accomplish. It will confuse the market with a different numbering system, but substantively...
Very nice example of the Davis-3(Dalton-3) Staffordshire token. Rushbury and Woolley also issued two different varieties of silver shilling...
CGS (the British fledgling certification company) has been using a 100 point scale for some time. Of course, they don't use all of the numbers...
Talk is cheap. I seriously doubt the truth of this statement without photographic evidence.
I rarely if ever see NGC bumping technical numeric grades because of toning. PCGS, though, not only does it but openly admits and promotes it as...
I think Great Collections' images are actually probably among the best in the auction business. They are certainly better than the "scan-like"...

The OP wasn't born yesterday. He has been buying and selling on eBay for years. It is a venue that needs to be carefully navigated. This is no...
OK, I tracked down the pictures...here are the "best of the best" from my personal collection of toned world coins. They are in date order...
I have lots, but here are a couple for now... [IMG] [IMG]
I mean no hard feelings, I just think you're being a bit melodramatic in your interpretation of all of this. You received a reply from APMEX with...
