<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tcore, post: 826188, member: 2949&quot;]Good thoughts and lively discussion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;ve never heard that term as applied to currency either, just throwing it out as an idea... and sometimes a very light fold is tough to distinguish and two people may see different things.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As has been pointed out, grading is subjective, so there will always be some variation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, I understand grading and how to do it fairly well in the coin realm (not necessarily currency... yet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). However, something that&#039;s always bothered me is the term &quot;uncirculated&quot;. In the coin world (and currency I&#039;m guessing), that term means something very different than what it means in the real world. Uncirculated to me means something that has not entered circulation. Well, there are a lot of coins graded MS or &quot;Uncirculated&quot; that have been out in circulation, if for just a bit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One last thought... I like reputable TPGs and like my coins and notes slabbed. I don&#039;t want to waste money and effort on having things re-graded. So, if I don&#039;t agree with the grade on the holder, I just pass and wait for the next one until I find one I like. For the things I can afford to collect, there will always be a next one. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
