<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2077882, member: 112&quot;]If somebody doesn&#039;t know the history and particulars of both things - Sheldon&#039;s system and the ANA grading book -&nbsp; that comment can be very misleading. They didn&#039;t really adopt Sheldon&#039;s &quot;system&quot; - they just borrowed the numbering part of it - and that&#039;s all.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ANA developed completely and totally different criteria for grading coins than what Sheldon used. And that&#039;s what they put in their book. And yes I have a copy of the 1st edition ANA grading book, and yes I used to own a copy of Sheldon&#039;s Penny Whimsy as well. And the only thing the two have in common was the numbering used.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
