<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 5130552, member: 92655&quot;]I love reading your posts. You have such a wonderful grasp of the English language..... I will offer up two very personal reasons why we haven’t entirely disposed of the old grade identification verbiage.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I am on the bourse and evaluating a dealers coin that has not been interred in plastic, I will evaluate that coin in my head we will say as XF. Now, if the dealer has written AU on his 2X2, then I immediately know that dealer is taking advantage of some unsuspecting buyer and he isn’t a fellow that I want to do business with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, while I am fully well versed in the Sheldon system, in my aged brain a 58 coin is still AU. My generation is fading away soon enough and I am confident that once the baby boomers are gone, so too will be the old grading system.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is like anything. Gasoline powered cars will give way to electric cars in time. Fax machines gave way to email. The old system too will fade away. You just have to give evolution an opportunity to take care of itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
