[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1660078, member: 11854"]If I recall correctly, the Sheldon scale was originally designed for early copper only and was more of an explicit [i]dollar grade [/i] than today's implied [i]preservation grade. [/i] That is, a VG8 was meant to be worth twice what a G4 was worth and only one-fifth what an EF40 was worth. Today, the Sheldon scale has been adapted to follow surface preservation and wear instead of tracking general value. It has also been greatly expanded in its everyday used grades and this is especially true for the MS grades.[/QUOTE]
