I have been meaning to do this for 2 years. Now that there is so much discussion I will do it now. This will help visitors to my website pricelist- if it is referred to outside of my website, fine.
I was a coin collector for 20 years and a dealer for 8 years. There are many parallels, but what tends to happen is when values go up, grading standards get relaxed- it's just the way it is. THE BUYER MUST ALWAYS BE AWARE whether there's a grading system/standard in place or not!
I have to dash off to my day job, but I will be saying a lot more about this soon. I will also be posting grades and explanations on my website in the next day or so.
