<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 1881494, member: 60292&quot;]While I agree it&#039;s &quot;completely stupid&quot;, I think the scale needs to be downsized, not increased. I think 70 different grades is too much. It actually becomes more like your proposed 100 when you start adding +&#039;s and all kinds of different designations. Grades are nearly indistinguishable from the next one. It may even be best to get rid of a numerical scale altogether. </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind coins don&#039;t all wear out the same way. Although there are certain areas that tend to wear out consistently, it&#039;s not always identical. Sometimes the obverse has more wear than the reverse (vice versa). So assigning one grade may not only be inaccurate, it also leads to inconsistency. Inconsistencies in not only grading, but in market values.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I would like to see grading companies do is authentic coins. It would also be nice for them to note details on their label. For example, full bell lines on the Franklin Half Dollar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
