<p>[QUOTE=&quot;borgovan, post: 859284, member: 13016&quot;]I can&#039;t speak to your currency issues, but I can talk about net grading. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This statement of yours is closest: &quot;Also in the above case, if the NET was due to a repair ... Does that mean the AU 55 NET note would have graded higher ... perhaps CU 63 (or similar) ... but it was knocked down to an AU 55 due to the repair?&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I grade a coin, I&#039;ll specify the details grade (that is, the technical grade of the coin), and then I&#039;ll separately mention any issues the coin has. For instance: EF-40, harshly cleaned. This means the coin has EF-40 details left, but someone dipped the heck out of it, took Brillo to it, etc. Some people will grade this same coin, NET VG-8, for instance. This means, to this buyer, the cleaning was so bad, it dropped it from a 40 down to an 8. This is somewhat useful for market purposes; you know that you can price this coin at about a VG. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I personally don&#039;t use net grading, because different problems worry different people. For instance, a rim bump to one fellow might knock an AU-50 coin down to a F-12 (price-wise), but someone else may not mind rim bumps, and call it a VF-30.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
