<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LRC-Tom, post: 4606170, member: 25784&quot;]Long ago, back in the 80s, I was an EAC member.&nbsp; Back then, their grading system was a little different.&nbsp; They would evaluate the degree of wear, the technical grade,&nbsp; and then classify things like planchet porosity as well as post-strike impairment using the terms &quot;Choice&quot;, &quot;Average&quot;, and &quot;Scudzy&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; The main price guide in use by EAC members was &quot;Copper Quotes by Robinson,&quot; known as the CQR.&nbsp; He would list three prices for each grade, based on those three classifications.&nbsp; There were often huge differences in price for the same technical grade, based on those three classifications.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t belonged in a long time, and I haven&#039;t seen that grading guide. I do wonder, under the current system described above, how a porous, dark planchet or extreme strike softness would be treated, since these are not &quot;post-strike impairments.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
