<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 906044, member: 21705&quot;]I agree. Markets should affect PRICING, not grade. Differences in grade availability in different years should affect price, and not the grader. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have an 1837 Large Cent in near MS, but which was always struck weakly on the reverse. Now the price should reflect that fact, not the grade. I would therefore expect to find larger quantities of lower MS available at a price premium and none in the higher states because of poor strike. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now that brings up a different question. Since MS has 11 grades for MS, that means they must be distinguished by condition, rather than wear. All other grades are determined by wear and condition concerns are netted down to a grade below it&#039;s level of wear. Shouldn&#039;t an AU in great condition (mine) bring more than a MS in poor condition?</p><p><br /></p><p>Should all coins be graded for wear and condition independently? I know I&#039;ve started using a detail/net system, but a wear/condition would do nicely as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
