<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheNoost, post: 661569, member: 14473&quot;]Dr. William Sheldon developed it based on the value of the 1794 large cent. A 1794 in the lowest collectable condition was worth $1 at the time and was considered the basal value. He noticed that a coin in G was going for about $4 and so on. The ANA based its scale on this as it was already accepted and being used (for at least one type of coin) in the coin market. Plus, could you imagine a 100 point scale? TPG already have a hard enough time giving a coin the same grade upon resubmission. Why add 30 more levels to add to the confusion?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I learned how to grade at grade school.
