<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 4494969, member: 78244&quot;]Because modern coin collecting has become a pissing contest based on the minutiae of numbers. Collectors like having precise numbers to gauge where their coins rank among others. Then they can use this ranking to create a precise value stratification where the holder is the end-all be-all determination of value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now knowledgable collectors with a discerning eye like [USER=15309]@Lehigh96[/USER] and [USER=19165]@physics-fan3.14[/USER] are very much the exception. Their opinions of a coin’s quality and value exist outside of the slab. But they are in the minority.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am a huge advocate of getting rid of numbers altogether. Who cares if it is VF-30 or 35? Just call it Choice VF. Same with VG-8 and 10. Just call it VG. And if it is between two levels (lots of gray between 35 and 40), call it borderline.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
