yankee1227 Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 12/14/2011 8:19 pm I think what they mean by "red+" is the new grading system like MS67+. Not sure but it sounds logical. Report this Post to the Staff

Correct? I'd have to go to the PCGS web site to try to see that. Never heard of anyone using a + or - after a grade before. Really wouldn't make CENTS since a MS-67+ should or could just be a MS-68. Sort of like in the past I kidded about starting to use things like MS-65.9832. Or changing to a 100 point system such as with a MS-93.88712 approximately. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/14/2011 9:48 pm MS67 vs MS67+ PCGS = MS67 vs MS67* NGC The + and * (star) designations are for exceptional pieces, showing an above average luster, or color. Similar to what CAC is trying to do with their stickers, showing an upper end piece for the grade. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 01:05 am Found a page tonight at NGC on + and Star designations, it explains it quite nicely: http://www.ngccoin.com/coingrading/...nations.aspx PCGS is not quite as clear of a description but here is what they have to say about + grades: http://www.pcgs.com/grades.html "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 9:39 pm Yes the "+" designation is a ridiculous attempt at doubling the granularity of the Sheldon Scale (which is already hefty at 70 grades) where the Star designation is simply their way of saying "Neat!" which is just about as useful as a doctor's office "you've been a good sport" sticker. Anything to make a buck from the TPGs. :-P Report this Post to the Staff
