That Dracula clone from Sesame Street says yes, but cautions he has the ability to grade using any radix from binary through hexadecimal. He's considered expressing the grade logarithmically to eliminate confusion.

If one of the two majors pulls the trigger the other one will reap a significant reward.
If they both pull the trigger at the same time it would be considered a form of collusion since they are more than 70% of the slab market combined.
If they both pulled the trigger it would be a circular firing squad on a suicide mission. Blackstone and Stephen Cohen just want to "wet their beaks", not eat each other's livers

They already did this with plus grading.
The + grades were not really an enticement to recertify.
A new scale would force recertification otherwise your MS65 etc. will not measure up to the new standard. Whatever the new standards. It just doesn't make business sense.

Since it's fully covered by Medicare, when I next see my gastroenterologist I will inquire of the mystical powers of the All-Seeing Eye.

If it made grading more accurate I would be all for it. That said scale does nothing for the vagaries of opinion and I would grade and regrade as normal when there is a value add to coin its self, same as it ever was.

I would simply multiply my current grades by 1.4285714 and post the new grade on a label attached to the slab.
1.42857142857142857142857142857142857(plus as many more 142857's as you might wish to append) is more accurate, but less efficient. CAC needs a neutron microscope to grade more tightly than a 10,000 pt scale, and they're running out of sticker colors.

I doubt they will do the 100 point scale. The next thing thats coming is split grading. Just too much money to be left on the table for the TPG's. I predicted it years ago. Bank on it

They should just use a 700 point scale, so we can just add a 0 to the grade, and make conversion easy.

This goes for Everyone in the industry today.
Our brains are keyed to a 70 point scaled and ingrained in us.
Everyone would have to retrain their brain to 100 point scale, that's why I say it will never happen.

How would a TPG go about hiring graders who know how to grade to a 100 point scale?
