Multiplied 9.3 by 70 and came up with 651.

I guess it is a 65.

The ten point grading scale for commercial coin sales to the general non-collecting public. MS is 9.0 to 10.0, AU is 8.0 to 8.9, XF is 7.0 to 7.9, etc. A 9.3 would be a MS63. This has been discussed in a few threads in the CU US Coin Forum. Also, they don't use all the numbers.

So this a special grading system for a contolled segment?

That is even more screwed up.

The non-collecting coin customers that this is aimed at can more easily comprehend a 10-point scale better than a 70-point scale. This 10-point scale has to be requested by mass marketeers who sell ASE's, common date Morgan and Peace dollars, etc to the general public. For regular collector coins, NGC will continue to use the traditional 70-point scale.

"Racist" is a toolword. You must know that.
Any objective examination of the effect of "them" has to lead you to the behavior and ideology that is now termed, "racist."

Refute if you can.

Wouldn't think this scale would be too popular in earthquake prone areas.

Wonder if NGC will do an auto cross to the 70 point grade?

Could be some opportunity there.
