New Grading System

ddink

I always thought that it was funny that "good" coins are one of the lowest grades. I'm come up with a new scale:

U-4 (ugly)
NAU-8 (not as ugly)
NSG-12 (not so good)
ALB-20 (a little better)
SS-40 (so-so)
G-50 (good)

Just kidding--I like circulated coins

Actually,

Sometimes I find that when describing coins to a person who is unfamiliar with grading they seem surprised to find out how worn out a good coin is, when you say " oh thats a good"

" oh thats a good"

Sounds Italian to me.....

I like the fair, 2 grade, myself.

Hmmmm... I think you left out the description on this one. It would be worth it to have a POS-1 if fully described.

I always wondered how these terms gained general acceptance in the coin community. All the circulated terms seem like generous descriptions in the big scheme and knowing what we know.
