    Numismatist = coin collectors? That’s a maybe at best. Good of you to change the title.

    Does anyone remember back in the late 60’s a coin shop in NYC on 59 street further west than Stack’s that I believe was named True Value? They did exactly this and graded their coins by their own terminology. The one that stands out to me was AC (average circulated). I don’t remember the others at this moment.

    A wise wholesale dealer once taught me that arriving at a price is the important thing.

    Arguing about ‘grade’ is just a waste of breath.

    Arguing about price can be just as big of a waste of breath. Many, if not most buyers must believe that a coin is a particular grade in order to be willing to pay a given price.

    But an interesting clue I picked up: anagramming OP's handle results in "FAKERS UNION". Coincidence?

    Now that is funny!
