New grading system?

Recommended Posts

Looking at some of the offerings on the Ebay laughs leads me to think we need to come up with a whole a new grading system. How about

UNC – Unconvincing

EF - Everyday fair

VF - Verging on frightful

F - Frightful

G - Ghastly

:D

Very true!

It takes a while to sift through many over graded and damaged coins to actually find 1 or 2 decent ones.

UNC - Undeclared Newly Cleaned

aUNC - auction UNC (polished)

EF - Extremely F***ed

VF - Very F***ed

F - merely F***ed

AF - Awfully F***ed

Fair - you send me money, I send you this piece of crap, fair enough?

VG - Very Greedy (me, that is, not the coin)

FDC - Flat Disc Counter

Very Rare - an honest seller, don't look at me

Proof - you read the description but you still paid up, therefore you're an idiot

Luckily everything is UNC so we should not worry our little heads about any of those annoying lesser grades.

Very good additional sugestions gentlemen!

Mind you just think if all coins were actually BU or UNC - how boring would that make collecting!! :)
