<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2328569, member: 76086&quot;]Specific grade attributions have always had a place of importance in collecting.&nbsp; Mostly I think because of the lack of photography early in.&nbsp; Even in later years photos were difficult and expensive.&nbsp; My first paper catalogs had no photos, so the grade was one of the most important attributes of a coin listing.&nbsp; Even when I started using 35mm it was very expensive and time consuming.&nbsp; One had to develop the film, decide if the photo was worthy, showed the coins details properly, etc.&nbsp; Even at the end of paper catalogs, I only photographed maybe 75% of the coins.&nbsp; Grades will remain important for a variety of reasons and is a topic all its own![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
