When roll searching the last column is indeed all you need. It's pretty funny.

The rest isn't completely accurate. Grading companies never pushed something like an F-19 and you are missing some actually used designations like G-6 and AU-53. I know that wasn't your point, however. The point you were making is very true.

@hesgut Aye depends on the coin, but I don't tend to see anyone use G-6 in modern coinage for example. Mostly for older coins where the granularity is a bit more marked at the low ends. But you're absolutely right, some are far more likely than others. :-)

@rachums107 I didn't have room! Taking into account RD, CAM, DCAM, and + designations, that's be, what, another 57 grade combinations? :-)

What Sheldon intended is too extensive. The low end is about right but he only used 2 grades of Fine, four of VF, two of XF, two or three of AU and only five of MS.

I'm printing copies to take to my coin club meeting tomorrow.

I still laugh whenever I see it.
