By all scientific logic the aerodynamics of the humble bumble bee precludes it from any ability to fly.
The idea that a bumblebee “shouldn’t be able to fly” came from an early, incorrect calculation in the 1930s. The calculation treated the bee’s wings like fixed airplane wings instead of rapidly flapping wings. Using that oversimplified model, the numbers didn’t work out.
Modern fluid dynamics shows that bumblebees fly perfectly well according to known physics.

The problem is the bumble bee doesn't know that and flies regardless of the proof it can't.
We collectively can make the above happen.

"The system was abandoned not long afterwards. Why? It was simply too complicated, especially when everyone was still running off of price guides that only listed one grade.

They issued authentication only certs from from 1972 to 1977. In 1978 they started issuing certs with split grades and that persisted until 1989.

Each PCGS coin would have four grades. Two for the obverse and two for the reverse. Each side would have separate grades for the devices (portrait) and the fields.
For example, a Morgan dollar might be graded MS62 MS65 MS65 MS61.
The collector determines what is important to them. Some would like cleaner fields and don't care if the devices are of a lower grade and others want a puffy, clean cheek and don't mind chatter in the fields.
CAC would have to adjust their logic and thinking too when it comes to stickering these coins.
PCGS would be the innovator with NGC certainly soon following in PCGS's footsteps.
I don't expect compensation for this idea, maybe PCGS throws me a few vouchers. That's cool.
