<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1622864, member: 42773&quot;]Chris, I&#039;m not advocating the current system - I&#039;m just trying to understand it as a new collector. I&#039;m sure your system would have its benefits, but I just don&#039;t have enough experience to judge whether it would be superior.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I would have purchased my toned coins regardless of what grading system was used to assess them, because ultimately it&#039;s a matter of the heart. Why else would some collectors go low-ball, or mid-grade, or holed? Something about those coins speaks to them, and overrules another person&#039;s opinion of their grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is that you could fiddle endlessly, creating new ultra-empirical grading systems, and what you&#039;d end up with is a whole lot of controversy and disagreement, which is basically what we already have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
