<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3210142, member: 15309"]I always thought that it would be better if they graded each element of grading separately and listed those grades in small print on the reverse label. Since there is a premium on surface preservation, that would count for 40% of the grade while the other elements count 20%. This way, people could understand why the coin was market graded. For example, lets say we have an MS65 Morgan Dollar with dramatic rainbow toning and premium gem luster and solid strike. To achieve the grade:</p><p><br /></p><p>SP-65 x 0.4 = 26</p><p>L-67 x 0.2 = 13.4</p><p>S-65 x 0.2 = 13</p><p>EA-68 x 0.2 = 13.6</p><p>----------------------</p><p>Total = MS66</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead, we currently use a system where everyone grades the coin solely on surface preservation and people simply claim the coin got a grade bump due to the color.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
