Breaking news!
Here is what 's going on at PCGS / NGC / ANACS. They have rooms labeled "MS", "AU", "EF", "VF", "F", or "VG", etc., on each door. Each room has a dart board. The players, err..., graders, throw darts all day long. If your coin is lucky, the dart hits the bullseye, and it gets assigned the highest grade for that category (for example, AU58). Keep in mind that, since none of the rooms has ceiling, sometimes darts from the MS room can accidentally land on the AU board. Hence, the crack-out game.
If it happens the other way, then it 's an upgrade.
Well, what about ACG / NTC, you might ask? They only have one room and one dart board, and a beer. Hence the mess.
