<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 4736539, member: 29751&quot;]The relative versus absolute scale was discussed earlier in this thread.&nbsp; If you can read, you should have already seen it there.&nbsp; I get your arguments - but they don&#039;t make for a cogent argument.&nbsp; You can only assign series-specific (relative) scores if&nbsp; you know the series of every coin posted.&nbsp; For example, I have posted two coins that are foreign - you assigned them scores for toning, and I seriously doubt you know the series - thus, you have done the very thing you said you didn&#039;t know we were doing (i.e., assigned an absolute toning score).</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with relative assessments is that they are relative to God knows what.&nbsp; That series? That date within the series? That toning color combination?&nbsp; Relative scores of toning don&#039;t work in any consistent way.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not going to harp any more on this, but it is humorous how people get defensive of their own coins posted, but can be so nonchalant and dismissive about other people&#039;s coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Knowing you&#039;re stubbornness historically, I don&#039;t expect any admission of a double standard.&nbsp; Carry on, and try not to be &quot;insulted&quot; by others disagreeing with your coins.&nbsp; As they say, ownership is always worth 1 or 2 points - I guess that applies to both grade <i>and </i>toning scale.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
