AngryScot,

Have you tried using photograde?

Also what are the grades for proofs below PR-60?

You realize he hasn't visited here in more than a year, right? All you have to do is click on a username to see a member's Profile - it lists their last visit date.

Circulated Proofs are graded on the usual Sheldon scale - PR40 is an acceptable grade, for instance.

Sorry if I am in the wrong place. I bought quite a few coins as a novice. I met with a numismatic specialist and he said I should automatically sell the coins that did not have CAC stickers. Some very expensive coins don't have stickers. I will lose probably 10-15%. logical to do?
Thanks for the help!!

This interests me ... even descriptions of grades can differ ... subjective !?

No wonder, when it comes to actual TPG, there are such strenuous debates on how they grade/slab ... personally, I have questioned/disagreed etc. on my own submissions.
