<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 7853035, member: 46237&quot;]I&#039;ve been a member of the JRCS for a long time, and as many here know, I am a die state collector for bust quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with technical grading is that it tells advanced collectors nothing they shouldnt already know, while also giving amateur collectors information that is potentially extremely misleading without them having the expertise to interpret it. As such, it really doesn&#039;t offer anyone anything of value in terms of using it as the basis for slab grades, which is a big part of why the TPGs don&#039;t do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also you seem to be saying that a quality-based scale wouldn&#039;t work because experts would be needed to grade the coins. You don&#039;t say? If only there were companies that had grading expertise that you could pay money to to do something like encapsulate and render a professional opinion on a coin...</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, this same subjectivity you speak of exists with technical grading when you are pricing a coin with a grade that is divorced from its value, such as an &quot;AU64&quot;, and the like, and yet people seem to be able to price these coins just fine. I wonder how they are able to do that...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
