Message:: [QUOTE="Sundance79, post: 2975551, member: 84413"][USER=84413]@Sundance79[/USER] the 70-point scale came from Sheldon's Penny Whimsy... it was price driven for a single variety of large cent. He would probably be greatly surprised to see it applied to everything. The coin in fair condition is worth twice as much as a coin in poor condition. PO1 and FR2. A coin in good condition four times as much and that coin in hypothetically absolute perfect condition 70 times as much.[/QUOTE] What I was trying to get at is that most things seem to be graded on a 1 to 10 or 1 to 100 scale. So as a whole 1 to 70 just doesn’t fit in. In my 50 plus years of coin collecting I seem the Sheldon scale get sliced thinner and thinner. Can’t wait to see my first MS 63.25 graded coin.[/QUOTE]
