<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrz1988, post: 715967, member: 21121&quot;]If you ask me, there should be a better grading scale than the one-dimensional 1-70 that we use today.&nbsp; Coinage should be graded in two, three, or even more dimensions, taking into account eye appeal, wear, hairlines/marks, etc.&nbsp; The problem with that is people want their coins to be determined &#039;better&#039; or &#039;worse&#039; than any other single coin of the same type by looking at a single number rather than making a tough judgement on three conflicting ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as wear goes there may be a scientific method in the future that can determine the exact amount that a coin was worn down to the micron.&nbsp; The point on the coin that has seen the most metal rubbed off, and the largest difference from the UNC design can be given a specific number and can be compared accurately that way, instead of relying on the opinion of a professional grader.&nbsp; Maybe when this happens we can finally see a multi-dimensional grading system develop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
