<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 24860907, member: 77413&quot;]If I were King and started a new grading service, my two main areas of concern would be</p><ul> <li>The AU/MS problem. Treat wear like any other flaw, but keep it balanced with other criteria. Don’t let AU58 be better than MS62.</li> <li>The Details problem. Don’t drop any uncirculated coin’s grade straight to Details. Deduct for flaws, sure, but set up a sliding scale for just how much they deduct from the “eye appeal” score. A tiny ding on a Morgan might drop it 1/2 point, while gouges all over the cheek drop at least a full point, just for example. Treating an MS66 coin with a small ding as if it were MS60 does no one any good, in my opinion.</li> </ul><p>I don’t see the point of using a grading scale that makes it harder, instead of easier, to tell what the coin is really like. I think I would have liked the ANACS approach better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
