<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Inspector43, post: 4476897, member: 89213&quot;]Adding more levels to the grading of coins poses an unfair advantage to the more powerful &quot;collectors&quot; and deteriorates the value of the lower grade coins of the typical collector. When I was young a VF coin would be an awesome and desirable coin for any collector. Now, in too many cases, they are frowned upon as inferior. Even what used to be BU is split in to so many subjective grades. All of the splitting and emphasis on the upper end stretches the actual value of the population. This, in turn, is encouraging new collectors to imitate those collectors that are more visible - the MS this and MS that we see on media.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t like the way the hobby is moving. We are telling new collectors that what they have and can have is not representative of the real collector. My coins are either Uncirculated or they are not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
