Then, of course, you have to have a MS70+ with a CAC sticker.
What a load of bull****...

Anyone know what ever happened to the idea of a 100-point grading
system? That was a while back, and I've been out of it for a while.
Apparently, that never got enough traction, yet???

The 100 point grading system is set to be applied exclusively to the
popular MS70 grade, and will be designed to attract collectors of
lesser means to the world of MS70. I believe it's going to kick off
on April 1, 2011.

Hey, Bruce! Good to see another familiar name - I guess there ARE
still some people still around from when I used to read/post! You,
Reid, Mike B., James (Mr. Jaggers), Alan Bruns......wonder how many
others!

I guess I gotta read up on that 100-pt grading crap. Not that it
matters that much to me, per se, but I should at least know what it's
all about.

Um, Eric, kindly notice Bruce's starting date for the kickoff!

As far as I know, the 100-point deal is defunct, as it was not received well
by dealers. *And PCGS would not likely be investing in this new "plus
grading" scheme of theirs if they thought it was going to be supplanted any
time soon. *But, who knows, ya gotta have a gimmick, so anything is
possible.

Yeah, 2011! I somehow read that as 2010! Regardless, I think I might
try to read up on it, if possible, just a little - see where it's
going, or not.

I can't imagine the dealers and especially most coin collectors would
support a 100-pt grading system at this point. Who wants to get all
their already-slabbed coins re-slabbed? Not me!
