<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2390757, member: 24314&quot;]Thanks, get it.&nbsp; Now see if you agree.&nbsp; Right or wrong, needed, wanted or not liked/wanted - decimals can be used to break down (refine) a grade (technical or commercial) just as a &quot;PQ&quot;, star or +.&nbsp; So WHEN <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> they are used in the future, fine. We&#039;ll all get accustomed to them. </p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, every point of grading should be separated but the grade would be very complicated:&nbsp; M-2,S-7, C-7,E-8,PL&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; That&#039;s just the obverse!&nbsp; Things like this have been proposed for decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember I&#039;m an old time technical grader who does not like commercial grading; yet here is a problem to think about:&nbsp; TPGS&#039;s claim to put a commercial value on a coin and eye-appeal (a catch-all for all the coin&#039;s attributes) its one of the major factors that affects its value.&nbsp; So, the way grading is now practiced, a pretty coin is worth more than one that is not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
