<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3197391, member: 66"]They were intended for large cents and for the most part only the large cent community used them through about 1972 when they finally scrapped them because there was just no way to make the pricing system they represented work and without the pricing connection they had no reason to be used. Around that time Paramount coin company had begun using them but they were the only firm I'm aware of that did. And they were most famous for their use on the Redfield hoard dollars in 1974. Then when the ANA decided to to produce the "Official" grading guide in 1977 they resurrected the pricing numbers. Then since this was the "Official" grading guide the numbers then took off in common use. So from introduction to common widespread use call it 28 to 29 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
