<p>[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2059758, member: 60292"]I like your post, but I don't think that having only 4 grades means having only 4 prices. I think the grade should only be used to describe the amount of wear on a coin in general. From there a buyer and seller determine the coin's precise grade and value in their mind. Unlike Sheldon scale where very finite grades are assigned and distinguishing one grade from the next is very subjective and differences in price are tied into this subjectivity. </p><p><br /></p><p>In summary, I don't think prices should be bound to a number grade. I think buyers and sellers should determine what a coin's value is to them (while using the general condition/grade as a guide only) and then offer accordingly. Nowadays I find substantial differences in prices are tied to grades where the difference in those grades are too insignificant and too subjective.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
