LoL my wife for years now keeps reminding me that I am no longer 35 and not as bad as my younger days.... but I remind her of her dad at 97 who served in both Europe and Pacific still believed he could fight as he did in the Battle of the bulge. Age is a number... we lost dad at 97 he would of been a 100 this month. Bless his soul and all who served .

I like this post. Everything about it I can relate to in my own life. Except one thing.....I HAVE TO KEEP REMINDING THE LOVELY MRS. HYDRANT THAT I AM NO LONGER 35!!!!!! She is SO demanding. I love her.
I voted AU because my favorite coins are 58+'s and most of them could garner a higher 60 somin grade so that would get you in the range of my age. My coins also don't like Beans because no one needs them to appreciate their beauty and merit!
I'm actually 51... but I had a senior moment.

I'm pretty heavily circulated, but not showing a lot of wear, I guess.
You missed one; PO-1
Just don’t put me under a bright light to grade me…
None of the above. I'm a perfect 70.
Better than a 70! (72)
I’m 47, so I will be an XF45 with a green CAC. Very nice for the grade.

What was limp is now stiff, what was stiff is now limp.
I'm AU 55 but in my head I'm MS 63.

I thought the sheldon grading scale was 1 to 70.
Once you max out ya' just stop going in for regrading.
Authenticity Unverifiable. I mean, I’m a coin dealer, right?

Just don't use Sheldon to get your head examined.
Genuine/corroded and scratched with environmental damage.

Unique, only one known to exist, showing signs of circulation, A few dings but overall worth it. Peace Roy

Lol! I’m sure the ANS would agree.
My age does not correlate well with the grades I mostly have, alas.
I am a PR74........but in the presence of a nice lady, I downgrade to MS58.
I guess my PMD started at birth.
Two months ago I became a gem (65). However my holder has seen excessive wear, tear, scratches and scuff marks.
If only I could reholder myself into a new fresh unworn holder I would be good to go.
Don't we all wish that!!!

Posting my age could be construed to be the moral equivalent of endorsing the 100-pt grading scale
I'm 51 but don't look a day over 50.

MS70+ with a CAC sticker 🙈

I’m 19 so I am at VF 25. I am an old soul in a young body. Young on the outside but VF on the inside ☺️
GENUINE-DETAILS. Ive lost my luster, been cleaned, and have scratches and marks.
I’m just saying it’s a good thing I’m already married. I think I’m no longer Market Acceptable.
XF45 OGH CAC
I’m just grateful I didn’t start with a mint error…
(My wife thought of that one)
Im an XF40, but feel like I'm in an NGC slab

Still young, have few scars from circulation, some balding but still presents well under various angles/lighting conditions.
Have many miles to go.

I am with @ColonelJessup .... 70 is faded away in my rear view mirror.... Would need a new scale for me. Cheers, RickO
Oops! I voted wrong. Figured the lowest grade was for us old folks...
