<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1309936, member: 26302&quot;]Guy, I do not disagree with his differentiation of strike versus surface. I disagree on how he opens the door for a coin such as Doug&#039;s #1 coin to be graded XF due to a weak strike, and not a gF that it is. It is this slippery slope, grading coins much higher than they appear because of &quot;weak strike&quot; or &quot;worn dies&quot; that I object to, along with his using AU and BU grades, along with the American 1-70 system. </p><p><br /></p><p>Myself I do designate if a coin has less than expected surfaces in a grade, giving some of my coins a aVF porous, or gF encrustations grades. I think that 80% of his proposals sound fine, its just the aspects that I outlined above I believe are very dangerous, ill thought, and frankly insulting trying to impose US grading parameters to a hobby that has existed long before this country started shooting turkeys.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
