<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2758421, member: 19165&quot;]Thanks! I&#039;ve recently come to the realization that a single numerical grade doesn&#039;t really do a coin justice. After a few discussions here and on the NGC boards, I think I&#039;ve decided that this is the new way that I am going to grade - an individual grade for each of the 4 major factors. I will, whenever possible, accompany this with my explanation. For the amount we pay TPGs, I would love it if the hobby moved in this direction (for example, ancients get a strike and surfaces grade from 1-5 at NGC). </p><p><br /></p><p>Because that&#039;s the way the TPGs do it, I&#039;ll wrap it all up into a single number. </p><p><br /></p><p>Eventually, I&#039;d like to evolve this to a 1-5 scale for each of the attributes. A few companies used to do this (ACG, and the old photoseals from ANACS). I really think this is a more useful way to grade a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
