<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1376820, member: 112&quot;]Well, that&#039;s debatable. The grading system we currently have and use, what is commonly called market grading, was developed by the ANA. And while a lot of people are not even aware of that much, they are even less aware of who the individual people were that developed that system. Reading the list of those people is reading a list of Who&#039;s Who in Numismatics. That may be meaningless to some, but if the people who wrote all the books and literally taught all of us what we are doing, don&#039;t know what they are doing - then who does ? And I for one, agree with the system.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only other grading system there is is technical grading. And that was done away with because of its limitations and because it doesn&#039;t really work. But still, there are those who do favor the technical system. Many others often say they favor the technical system but that is because they don&#039;t understand what the technical system is or how it works. And if asked to describe the technical system and its grading criteria these same people end up describing market grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
