<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 42688, member: 112&quot;]Well you can find the books easy enough, both companies have published them. But you have brought up a point about grading that few collectors seem to understand. This same point is why so many collectors have such hard time grading coins accurately. You see, there are several factors to consider when grading a coin. And these factors are seldom all equal on any 2 given coins - but yet the 2 coins can be graded the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, take two Franklin halves, call them A &amp; B. Both coins are graded by the same company as MS66. Now coin A has fewer contact marks than coin B. But coin B has better luster than coin A. The quality of strike on coin A coins is better than that of coin B. But coin B has better eye appeal than coin A. </p><p><br /></p><p>So here we have two different coins, graded the same, but both with different attributes. And the reason they are both graded the same is because the sum total of the various qualities that make up the grade of a coin are the same. </p><p><br /></p><p>Make sense ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
