[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 8671975, member: 40340"]Let's simply start with as the article mentions a grade of 9.9 being equilivilant to MS69... Nope nope nope math just don't work that way in any system :D Let's add that if they are going to use decimals it's a 100 point scale not 10 no matter what they call it... if there are 100 possible grades from .1 to 10 that's a 100 point decimal system. While I think a 100 point decimal system would be simpler for new collectors to learn, it would mean all the previously graded coins using the old system would need to be properly regraded (and you know sure as all heck the TPGs ain't gonna do the change over for free.. All I see here is a TPG getting greedy wanting to change a system that already more then twice as many possible grades then are actually in use... When I start seeing some 54s 59s and 13s out there it might be time to consider a new system. Lastly unless PCGS, ICG and ANACS all change to the same system, the only thing NGC is going to accomplish with this change is their own bankruptcy... JMHO[/QUOTE]
