<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3297815, member: 78244&quot;]The original system was just G/VG/F/VF/EF/FDC. No numbers. No AU/UNC Not confusing at all. Only moderns are subjected to the numbers. The rest of numismatics gets by just perfectly without numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>But what if the TPGs introduced a system where if a coin has no wear, it gets graded on an UNC-6x system, and a coin with a touch of wear gets graded on an AU-6x system. The differentiating factor between 58 and 60 is the presence of wear in the fields. That way we get the best of both worlds.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Is it 63 or a 64? Is it worth $5000 more because it is a 64 instead of a 63. IT DOES NOT MATTER! Some UNCs are better than others. Trying to grade coins on a 11-point scale (or 21-point scale if you include + grades) without firm standards is plain insanity. It only serves to allow collectors to participate in an ego contest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
