<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 494210, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m not sure where this idea of a bell curve came from, but it sure isn&#039;t what is used. With a bell curve system you take the high and low as the extremes and everything else has to fall in between. </p><p><br /></p><p>By separating the coins by date and mint and judging them solely on that you remove any possibility of using a bell curve for you only use the best known for that date/mint. And all of the others don&#039;t have any impact at all.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then I apologize Mike for I misunderstood you. You have continuously said that wished to form a composite and what is a composite if it is not an average ? That is the part that is confusing me.</p><p><br /></p><p>So if I understand you correctly, now, you are saying that you would take the S mint Morgans from say 1879 - 1882, for they are the best struck Morgans there are - and you judge all other Morgans based on that basis. Is that correct ? If it is correct, then I would agree that grades would definitely go down.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still do not agree that it would work because it would not be a fair system since the coins are not equal. It would be a biased system by definition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
