[QUOTE="jody526, post: 159467, member: 578"]i can't answer "when" they started using the lesser known numbers, but I believe some of the numbers they use are as follows... Poor-1 Fair-2 About Good-3 (abbreviated as AG-3) Good-4 to 6 (G-4, G-6) Very Good-8 or 10 (VG-8, VG-10) Fine-12 or 15 (F-12, F-15) Very Fine-20, 25, 30, 35 (VF-20, etc.) Extremely Fine-40 or 45 (EF-40, EF-45) AU-50, 53, 55, or 58 (AU-50, etc.) MS-60 continuously through MS-70 (MS-60, MS-61, MS-62, etc.) Proofs are graded the same as Mint State coins, 60 through 70, and are as follows: Proof-60, Proof-61, etc. An impaired or rubbed Proof can be assigned a lower grade, such as Proof-50 or Proof-58. I'm sure all that is subject to change, as the owners (and investors) of the company see fit.[/QUOTE]
