<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1237402, member: 26302&quot;]Its a subject that should be brought up more often. Part of the problem is the US grading system, where an old AU58 was technically a superior coin to a MS60-62 coin in most instances.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my perfect little world, all grades would be technical, giving no thought as to why the detail was missing, just the fact that it is. Slight wear would be treated the same as a soft strike, and the same as bag marks, etc. Technically grade a coin based on degree of detail possible that is still there.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is how ancients are graded, accepting the fact many coins leave the mint as VF or lower sometimes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Market grading is dependent on TODAYS market, something I guarantee will change. Technical grades would be forever, but that particular coin&#039;s value could change daily based on the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think its just wishful thinking though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
