<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 135363, member: 4552"]Very true. Noting the famous Red Book on page 9 of the 2007 edition it lists About Good (AG-3) as very heavily worn with portions of lettering, date and legend worn smooth. The date may be barely readable. Throughout the Red Book there are coins with a G or G-4 grade column but none with a AG-3 column. </p><p>Don't know why the expression of GOOD was ever started as a grade for a coin that is actually Poor, Garbage, Junk, etc. Why didn't they just say BAD. Good almost means something that is good, not bad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
