<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2328015, member: 71723&quot;]Any use of the imprecise description &quot;high grade&quot; must be one of two things. 1) In marketing a coin on eBay, it is usually an intent to deceive while staying within eBay&#039;s rules. 2) When used in a reputable setting, such as by a trusted known dealer or in a major firm auction catalog, it refers to a coin that is nicer than those that are usually seen of the same type, date and variety. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an example: I own what I feel is a &quot;high grade&quot; 1970-S small date NGC-certified cent. What does that mean to you? Mine is an MS66RD. Now, do you agree? What about a 65? A 63? Or should one need a 67 to be high grade? Consider that a 67 is a fairly crummy modern proof coin. See the problem? Even while trying to use the term honestly, it drips with ambiguity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
