<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2943787, member: 71723&quot;]The old technical system is/was so fundamentally flawed that in its original state, would assign a AU50 grade to what is today a stunningly gorgeous AU58 while calling a beat to death ugloid monster a MS60 JUST because it was technically BU. So what? So this - I would GLADLY pay MORE, FAR MORE for that paleo-AU50 than its MS60 cousin. Today&#039;s MS60 is a monstrosity, and AU58&#039;s are GORGEOUS. We STILL need to &quot;fix&quot; that, are we are starting to do so, by using MS61-62 to regrade those gorgeous pieces. It&#039;s just a shame we don&#039;t have the guts to establish MS53 and AU63.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without knowing the terms for it then, I&#039;ve known since I was a kid that something was thoroughly ROTTEN about technical grading in the AU/BU range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
