[QUOTE="texmech, post: 700232, member: 20068"]I know I will show my ignorance in asking this question, but here it goes. I know coin grading is and can be subjective. It also varies accoring to the denomination. BUT!, just to make this a level playing field, let's use the Lincoln. Making up some scale, let's say 1 to 10. What is the difference from one grade to another? In some cases is it 2 points and other is is 10 points. I have seen some really neat post about grading, but at the end of the day, I wonder what is the exact difference between two grades. Out of 100 looks from professional graders will the difference between two grades be consistant to a certain point? The reason I ask this is I am trying to get a handle on this grading. I can see the difference between a (f) and (XF), but I could not see the difference between a (AU50) and a (AU53). I would love to hear some discussion on this, for my small brain.[/QUOTE]
