Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 557828, member: 4552"]Actually I thought it was getting out of hand when it went to those numerous statements. I came up with G, F, Unc and Proof only. That's all there was and that was all we needed. Then peopel just had to complicate things with VG, VF, AU added to a normal system. I was about to give up when they started with EF. Sort of like has been noted already. Now we have this 70 point system and lots of G's, F's, Unc's, and even different Proofs. Rare, Unique, etc has nothing to do with that silly 70 point system. It is really used by so many as a cost system though. For example a coin of AU-50 is so much cheaper than a AU-55. Dealers use this to tell customers how lucky they are to have a MS-64 since it could have been a MS-63 you know. All a little nutty to me. I'm waiting for the next step. A 1,000 point system. Picture a coin graded as EF-693.826639 approximately.[/QUOTE]
