[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2086949, member: 59677"]OK, so can we add Pi Steps too (that is 3.1415926534 or more steps but less than 4)? Seriously where does it begin and end? CAC divides into A/B/C (low/Solid/high) for the grade. 30 years ago, CompuGrade assigned MS63.3 (and was that MS63.26 rounded up?) The more and finer you slice and dice things, looking for quantitative differences, the more rapidly you get to the point where every coin is unique and must be judged solely on it's own merits, since there will never be another coin that grades the same MS63 with exactly the same three but not those three attributes or six or whatever additional attributes... Hey, maybe that's not bad. Wait - I have a catch-phrase: "Buy the slab not the coin!" Oh, and we need a NEGATIVE sticker. The CAC puce bean - means it wasn't good enough for green or gold. The not5FS. More stickers... Of course what will happen is that somebody will then create a slab that contains the slab plus space for all the stickers and then maybe a photo of the coin... oh, wait, that was done by ANACS and PCI and NCI and ANICS in the mid 80s... The lunatics are now firmly in charge of the asylum.[/QUOTE]
