thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 05/23/2016 10:57 am Hey all, Was just curious if PCGS and NGC still do + grades, or in between grades at all. I've see quite a few Morgan dollars with half grades over the years, but unsure if they still do this at all. Thanks Thrustie Report this Post to the Staff

What do you mean bt "half grades"? Do you mean the + grades or things like 63.5? Off the top of my head I can only think of three companies that have used decimal point grading and none of them have been active for a long time. Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 4:34 pm The "+" is not a half grade. It is PCGS and NGC's attempt to "cash in" or at least stem the popularity of CAC. MS63+ , like a green bean, means that it is strong for the grade, not MS63.5. I would find it very difficult to believe that the coin collecting community would embrace a revamping of the Sheldon scale to include .5 grade designations. I think that a total revamp to a 1-100 scale would be more likely , if a change was to occur. Report this Post to the Staff
thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 07:25 am Sorry guys, I shouldn't have used the phrase half grades in there when referring to plus grades. I have a few of what I believe to be strong MS64 grades in old ICCS holders that I'd like to submit to either PCGS or NGC in hopes of receiving a 64 plus grade as opposed to getting my hopes up with a 65 lol.
