<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2227656, member: 26302&quot;]Our grading scale, which predates US grading by centuries, is Fair-XF, wit an exquisite example as struck and fine style being FDC. We use &quot;a&quot; meaning about, or low end, or &quot;g&quot; for good or high end. So a coin can between gF or aVF. David Vagi made up all of the other stuff on NGC slabs. I have never seen another dealer use them. What ticks me off about these slabs, besides not being able to touch the coins, is they do not use our grading system, use other stuff they simply made up, and then do not even guarantee authenticity. Simply buying the coin from a good ancient coin dealer will give you a lifetime authenticity guarantee, so what is the point of using slabs with wrong grading system and not even get a guarantee? Why don&#039;t I start up a slab company grading a US coin &quot;Okey Dokey MS108&quot; but not guarantee its authentic. Would that service be welcome by US collectors?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
