[QUOTE="snaz, post: 858188, member: 11315"]MBT, As much as I agree that the TPG's sometimes can be awful at grading consistently you have to understand that: - The * really doesn't have much to do with the grade of the coin. - The + and CAC have been an aspect of grading for years and years, they were just the first companies to introduce them on slabs. If PCGS had've said, "We're introducing decimal grading for MS grades", then I would think that it was baloney. That is something that should be left up to the buyer and seller on their own terms. But that isn't what happened. If anything, above any future changes, I think they should start using the full Sheldon scale, and utilizing more than half of the numbers on the scale. Then we can talk about decimal grading.[/QUOTE]
