<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2028978, member: 112&quot;]There&#039;s one thing missing here. When Sheldon created his grading scale, it was applied to large cents and only large cents. He never intended his method to be used to grade any other coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for this comment, it is absolutely not true. It wasn&#039;t true when the ANA used technical grading (the 1st two editions of their grading book were based solely on technical grading), and it isn&#039;t true today either. And no, it doesn&#039;t matter if you use the TPG standards or the ANA standards. There are many, I would even say the majority, coins found in the Mint Sets that are no where near worthy of being graded a 70.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I will readily agree that there are some people who think that comment is true. But they are mistaken.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - the point I am trying to get across here, is that technical grading never worked that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
