<p>[QUOTE="John Johnson, post: 3977464, member: 96020"]I doubt many people really 'know' how to grade properly today. I doubt even the so called experts at the grading companies do, which is why three different experts will look at a coin before the grade is finalized. Remember, in our day, before there were such things as slabs, there were only 12 grades, instead of 70: Poor, About Good, Good, Very Good, Fine, Very Fine, Extra Fine, About Uncirculated, Uncirculated, Brilliant Uncirculated, Gem Brilliant Uncirculated, and Proof. Grading was a lot easier back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
