[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 4152562, member: 46237"]Nope. You always get stuck on this same thing. The point of the grading scale is [B]not[/B] to identify the amount of wear. The point of the grading scale is to identify the [B]relative quality[/B] of the coin. Wear is just one of the features used to determine that relative quality number. But it breaks down at the 58/60 boundary. Every collector here can tell you they have seen technical 58s that are as nice or better quality than a technical 65. That's a broken scale.
