Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4799847, member: 10461"]Don't you Brits have a TPG service that uses a 100-point scale?  I seem to recall seeing some British coins in slabs as such, that were done by a British company.  Whether it was by some fly-by-night boiler room operation or an actual reputable service, I don't know. The 100-point scale makes a lot more sense to me (you can tie it to percentages), but getting American collectors and TPGs to abandon the quirky Sheldon Scale will probably never happen. I mean, look at how we've been with the Metric system.  When I was a schoolkid in the '70s and '80s, I was told by teachers that we would have the USA fully transitioned to Metric by the 1990s.  You see how well that went!  We're a stubborn lot.  Set in our ways. Colored currency notes?  Perish the thought!  That's for those foreigners! (2000s: OK, we'll add a tiny bit of color.  To some of our notes.)[/QUOTE]
