<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1170892, member: 66&quot;]If you are talking about MS coins I would agree with you, but I think they tend to do a pretty good job with coins graded AU or lower, especially XF and lower.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But they also fall down when used on MS coins.&nbsp; All the written descriptions for MS grades tend to be very vague in my opinion and all boil down to &quot;MS-60 has no wear, an average strike, and many marks.&nbsp; MS-70 has no wear, a sharp strike, and no marks.&nbsp; Each of the grades in between have fewer marks and a better strike than the one below it, and more marks and weaker strike than the one above it.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The only way to learn grading of MS coins is practice and experience with actual coins in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
