<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1604531, member: 75105&quot;]Ok, so coins are graded on a 70 point scale, called the Sheldon scale. Got it.</p><p><br /></p><p>But here is where it gets confusing. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the 1st 4 points, it goes up four points.</p><p><br /></p><p>We have PR 1, FA 2, AG 3 and G 4.</p><p><br /></p><p>But once we hit G4, it goes up to G-6, we skipped two points.</p><p><br /></p><p>We skip 2 points until we hit F-12, after going over VG-10</p><p><br /></p><p>Then we have F 12, then holy cow, we jump 3 points to F-15.</p><p><br /></p><p>We get to F-15 and Jump 5 whole points to VF 20.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now we skip by fives, VF 35, XF 40, XF 45, until we hit AU 50.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then we go by 3&#039;s again. 50, 53, </p><p><br /></p><p>then we simmer down to 2&#039;s, 55, 58.</p><p><br /></p><p>When we get to MS, we really put on the brakes, MS 60, 61, 62, until we hit 70.</p><p><br /></p><p>So...here is my question.</p><p><br /></p><p>How come for certain grades we jump like 5 points, and certain grades, like Poor through Good 4, one point, and get even more picky in MS Grades?</p><p><br /></p><p>Why don&#039;t we just grade along the entire 70 point system? Like VF 37, or F16?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
