Huge value jumps for a single grade point.

David,

With the sometimes huge multiples associated with a single grade point, do you think the current whole point grading scheme is durable? In cases where a liner coin could be valued X, or 20X, based on two reasonable assessments of the coin, do you see too much "play" in the market?

    This is an interesting question. We had this question a lot at the beginning of PCGS and many dealers lobbied for half grades, especially 64.5. As it turns out, I think the current system works well and is very ingrained. i think the buyers are used to it and don't want to see it changed.

    Actually, I personally believe that coin grading is overly precise...certainly in relation to other collectibles. It might be better with less grades. That said, what we have is what we have and I don't see it changing.
