Our MS grades are the same grades that PCG use.

Maybe in the future we would look at
the sheldon rather than this grading system.
I always thought PCG (sic, or maybe some other random undiscovered TPG) already used the Sheldon system

With MS being short for Mint State, maybe an MS1 or MS5 is just a very bad mint state

It has taken me a year to get my head around the Sheldon system of grading and correlating that against the ANDA system (Or traditional Aussie grading) and I think I have got there eventualy.

These Guys are supposed to be professional and they don't have a clue.
Come on MS20 , Even my Dog Knows better than that

Just seen some apcgs coins listed up on ebay. Hmmm grading seems under graded or maybe it's just me.
The first 4 coins all slabbed by apcgs, wavy 20 - ms 12, cent florin - ms. 47, etc... By the way, the labels look gross.
Any thoughts on the grading?

Well, I see he's selling a 1985 $1 Mule/Mistrike? - With such a fantastic picture the bids will be shure (sic) to go through the roof!!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-ONE-DO...em4abf433d54

And get this, as both images are of the reverse, it must have been muled with another MoR reverse, how rare is that? Got to be worth a million.

Apparently all his APCGS coins have been profectionly slabed (sic) in Australia too, and I'm not BIYST (sic).

life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Both the 39 florin and Wavy 20c are cleaned IMO. The 20c has horrible surfaces.

I sent him a message advising that the double rim look is due to the photo being out of focus

Never quite sure why someone wouldn't take the time to remove a couple of staples and the 2x2 to take a decent photo- UNLESS they have something to hide.!

Well, he's posted some more photos so I'm sure you'll be wondering why his 1985 mule isn't listed in any catalogue
