<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 965409, member: 26302&quot;]No, not all of us, only US collectors. Somehow this logic got put into place here, and then just got twisted around like you described. One of the reasons I left US coin collecting was the screwy grading system when it comes to BU or not. In ancients, there is not that distinction, though TPGers trying to slab ancients are bringing that mentality with them. THat is a large reason I hate them in ancients so much, and rip open every slab I get my hands on, trying to kill the epidemic as it were.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understood the background Doug, but thanks for giving a review. I just disagree with the basic premise that a coin without wear is superior to one without. That was the first fallacy US grading is based on, all other decisions rest on that fallacy. The Sheldon system just accentuated this error to new heights. Thank god I don&#039;t have to live with that anymore. I will just sit over here with my books and old coins, thank you! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
