<p>[QUOTE="samjimmy, post: 156281, member: 3813"]But that's precisely what it's about. If people can't agree on what a MS67 or MS68 is, then just adding more precise grading (more "accurate grading" if you will) to an already non-precise system is... well pointless. If there was such a thing as an absolute, undeniable, universal MS67 (no doubts, no discussion, no variances), then I could see (even if I don't agree) that some may want to know if it's MS67.1 or MS67.6. One could grade to the hundredth for all I care (and charge $100 per coin to do so), but the point is... not everyone will grade to the hundredth the same, and not everyone who uses the same grading system and criteria will agree that a particular coin is MS67.32</p><p><br /></p><p>That's where the apprehension comes in. That's the "problem" if you want to call it that. *Personally* I don't have a problem with someone paying even more (on top of grading fees) to have something regraded "more accurately" -but I think it's a waste of money, and just another opinion (which many will disagree with).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
