[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1692243, member: 19463"]We expect good photos of coins offered for sale so this is true to a degree. The main reason it is true, however, is that we failed so miserably to do it in any other way. No! The guy that wrote that page (AKA me) has tried over and over again to find a way to transmit grading information in a simple way like EF50 but every grand scheme falls short in major ways. All those pages should do is point out that the subject is too big for my mind to grasp. Steve can be so lucid when he wants to be. All I disagree with in the above is the demonstrated fact that I often fail to figure out which of two coins is the better. That is why I have half a dozen of some coins and still can't find one that makes the others unwanted. I like this one,too. Unfortunately 'apples and oranges' makes it seem to simple. Perhaps its more a matter of apples and orangutans? My highest grade coin is one that I buy today and still will like at least as much tomorrow and on the day I die.[/QUOTE]
