<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2498712, member: 76863"]I really don't see how a 100 point scale would change anything when you really think about it. We already have 11 MS grades and what about 20 if you count plus grade. The other thing is we don't even use the entire scale we currently have anyway. Just using the whole 70 point scale essentially gets us a 100 point scale if you account for the pluses at the higher end.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the changes Rick proposed in my opinion most people already do that when they're deciding to buy or not. The biggest problem with grading in general is that everyone likes different things. Certain things appeal to one group which don't appeal to others and we keep trying to come up with ways where everyone will agree on every coin and it just will never happen. Adding another three layers to it (though I do kind of like what NGC does with the ancients) will just add more disagreement to the process unless for this aspect of grading we are expected to just take someone else's word for it[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
