I AM VERY SURPRISED MY QUESTION ABOUT GRADING BROUGHT OUT SO MANY NEGATIVE FEELINGS FROM STRIKE PEOPLE. IT HAS BEEN AN ACCEPTED PRACTICE IN COINS FOR A LONG TIME. I SEE NO HARM AND IN MY CASE A LOT OF GOOD. I AM VISION IMPAIRED AND COULD NOT EXAMINE A COIN PROPERLY WHEN PRESENTED TO ME.
IF GRADED I HAVE THE INDEPENDANT GRADING TO RELY
ON. IF NOT FOR GRADING I WOULD HAVE HAD TO GIVE UP COLLECTING. I APOLOGIZE FOR UPPER CASE LETTERS.
IT IS CONSIDERED RUDE BUT I USE SPEECH RECOGNITION SOFTWARE AND I CAN PROOF READ FAR EASIER IN THIS MANNER. ALSO THERE IS A MOVEMENT FOR THE GRADED CONTAINERS THAT HAVE THE GRADE NUMBER AND AND SCAN CODE TO BE ENHANCED WITH BRAILLE. I AM VERY HOPEFUL.
