[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 921828, member: 112"]Yes, and it is true of any series. There is also a good reason for that. Coins are not commodities and they never can be because no two are the same regardless of what the grade is. So it doesn't matter if you add forty eleven grades, no two coins will ever be the same. Each and every individual coin is unique. And it can only be priced/valued as such. That's the entire problem with the value grading that the TPGs are practicing now. It doesn't work. They need to just grade the coins, and there are plenty of grades as it is, and let the market work out the prices. The problem is people are lazy, beyond lazy. They want to be able to buy and sell coins as commodities because they are too lazy to take the time to actually learn anything about them so they know is a coin is graded accurately or not, and then learn the market so they also know which coins of any given grade will bring a premium. People with knowledge can do everything your talking about already - without adding any grades. It's only the lazy $%#@$*&(% that would ever need additional grades ![/QUOTE]
