<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinbuff, post: 531454, member: 9564&quot;]I agree with Mike. Although graded by the same standards, the fact that so many moderns (commems and mint set coins) grade high compared to business strikes merely reflects the special handling which was pointed out in the original post. I don&#039;t think another grading standard is something we need.</p><p>In addition, since 2005 the mint set coins are designated &quot;Satin Finish&quot; (PCGS), or &quot;SMS&quot; (NGC)...and everyone knows that higher grades in these designations are commonplace compared to business strikes. And this is reflected in the valuation of such coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The present system now has enough levels...I hope to never see &quot;MS69.5, 69.7, etc.. That would be awful! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
