Hal LewisI see your point now Gil, as I was unaware of the rigors of coin grading, etc.
But then again ... a coin is made of METAL ...
so it is probably a LOT EASIER to keep the coin in the range between a 9 and a 10 than it is to keep a fragile piece of cardboard in that range.
Drop the coin one time ... no loss.
Drop the card one time ... no 9 or 9.2 or 9.5.
Given how TIGHT the standards are NOW for a card to be graded HIGHER than a 9 ...
I really can't foresee a category of cards IN BETWEEN the 9's and 10's.
Hopefully your concerns will never come to fruition!!
