Here's one on the creation of the MS-64 grade level. -Editor

Why the Coin Grade MS-64 Was Created
VIDEO: 3:31.

John Highfill, Founder, National Silver Dollar Roundtable,
David Lisot, Interviewer, CoinTelevision.com.

Coin grading was originally a series of adjectives from "fair for the lowest grade to "brilliant uncirculated" for the highest. Later this adjectival grading was replaced with numerical grading based on a 70 scale, from one to seventy. Uncirculated grades are from MS60 to MS70. In the 1980's there was no MS64 grade. Hear the story of how this came about.
