<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 1661798, member: 23692&quot;]The Sheldon Scale was shoeboxed in to fit the &quot;grading&quot; of all US coins, not the primary 1793-1799 Cents and half cents that he specialized in.&nbsp; It was strictly a pricing system where a 2 was worth twice as much as a 1 and a 4 was worth twice as much as a 2 and so on.&nbsp; Even when he wrote it, probably 75% of all the coins he worked with were F-15 or worse ... that&#039;s why the lower end is so crowded.&nbsp; It was never meant to be used for 60 and above, especially for grading.&nbsp; A 1 point difference above 66 is worth thousands for many coins.&nbsp; Before they were just all &quot;UNC&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
