Regardless of the grading system used. This is the nature of collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that the indusrty&#039;s attempt at making grading a scientific perfection has failed. I&#039;m for accepting the basic 7 grades of circulated coins with the addition of AU. I&#039;m in favor of using only 3 Grades of MS coins -- Uncirculated., Brillant Uncirculated, Gem Uncirculated. These would match current MS-60, MS-63, MS-65.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next make sure both dealer and collector understand that these are the grading standards. Now everyone knows what is expected. If there is a disagreement in grade they can break out the book and talk about the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>catman&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
