<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 5127707, member: 77639&quot;]Don’t see any need for changing MS grading.&nbsp; We’ve got 60-70 with some plus grades.&nbsp; Toss in PL, DMPL and star, and there’s more than needed.&nbsp; TPGs already reserve MS60 for really trashed uncirculated coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that’s bothered me about circulated grades is that they are based pretty much exclusively on wear regardless of dings and scratches.&nbsp; Appears to be tacit assumption that the more wear on a coin, the more dings and scratches it will have.&nbsp; But you don’t have to look at many circulated coins to see that ain’t always so.&nbsp; Seems like there should be a two-part grade … one indicates wear … the other indicates dings and scratches.&nbsp;&nbsp; Something like AU50a, AU50b and AU50c.&nbsp;&nbsp; The “c” class would have very few dings and scratches; “a” class would have a lot.&nbsp; Yeah, it would add even more grades … that’s the downside.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless of grade, there&#039;s nothing like looking at a photo ... or even better ... the real coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
