<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 525382, member: 112&quot;]The reason you can&#039;t grade every series the same is really quite simple - it&#039;s because they are not the same. Nothing about them is the same, they all have different sizes, different weights, different designs, different metals, different mints. So each coin from each date &amp; mint must be treated differently.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think about it for a minute - how could you possible grade a Morgan dollar based on the same standards as you would grade a Mercury dime ? The minting process alone mandates they be treated differently.</p><p><br /></p><p>Imagine if you will the coin press, as each coin comes off the press it falls into a large hopper. Now which coin, the dime or the dollar, do you think is going to develop more marks on it as each succeeding coin coming off the press and falls onto the coins below - the dime ? Or the dollar that weighs 10 times as much as the dime ?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just one example of the differences and why they must be graded using a different standard for each coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
