<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 23684017, member: 46237&quot;]The scale is fine if you only look at the prefixes. An MS coin has no wear, AU has light wear, etc. Fantastic. That works. The scale also works if you only use the numbers, i.e. a 65 is a better coin than a 60 is a better coin than a 55.</p><p><br /></p><p>The scale does NOT work when you put them together, because the numeric grade is frequently at odds with the prefix. An AU58 is generally a better coin than an MS61 for example. Market grading is an acknowledgement of this very real problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>I for one have always been confused by your position. The problem exists whether you acknowledge it or not. Since market grading is an imperfect solution, I would expect that someone who advocates for technical grading would support fixing the grading scale as to remove the <i>need</i> for market grading. That&#039;s all it would take.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
