[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2648218, member: 77413"]Thank you so much for this response. The flip side of the coin (see what I did there?) is when the collector tries to use this scale to purchase. If the scale, plus a CAC sticker, lets [I]dealers[/I] wholesale coins en masse, that's one purpose. It gets a coin in the vicinity of a potential buyer but there is no guarantee that they will like it. That's where my profile (I'm OK with a minor scuff on cheekbone, but like a strong strike, like woodies and toning) and another person's ("cabinet friction is still an AU", wants booming luster, hates woodies ) are individual factors that cannot be teased out of a simple grade. The information was fed into the formula, but it can't be teased back out. So I just don't think the grading scale gives the end consumer what they need. If they are investors, maybe. If they live for the competition of registry sets, possibly. If they are collectors, not so much.[/QUOTE]
