<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 29377, member: 824&quot;]Let me give you real-world example.&nbsp; When I purchase gasoline, I don&#039;t fall for the marketing hype.&nbsp; SU2000+ gas means nothing to me.&nbsp; 93 octane does.&nbsp; Call it what you will, but I want the quantitative grade, NOT somebody&#039;s slick use of adjectives.</p><p><br /></p><p>87, 88, 89, 91, 93, 94 octane levels are all sold here in the states and many of the oil companies love to call their &quot;grades&quot; many names.&nbsp; I don&#039;t care what they call it...just give me the octane number and how much it cost...than I will make my decision as to what to buy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I use to work in the precioius metal industry and terms like &quot;precious&quot; versus &quot;semi-precious&quot; were bantered around until the insurance industry (for medical and dental purposes) quantified descriptions so that no confusion existed.&nbsp; After all, their reasoning was semi-precious doesn&#039;t make sense...it is or it is not!</p><p><br /></p><p>Back to coin grading.&nbsp; For me, I want the numbers because I know a 64 is better than a 63.&nbsp; How easy is that!&nbsp; Choice versus Gem B.U., or A.U. versus A.U. plus versus A.U./B.U. sometime drives me crazy.&nbsp; After all, there is a bunch of room to negotiate and instead of plus&#039;s or whatever...give me the freakin&#039; Sheldon number and life will be good![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
