Request to change grading options

Add Proof below the UNC so that Proofs are separated from the rest of the grades

Add Proof here so that the Proofs are separated from the rest of the grades or a check box that is for proofs and it greys out the G-UNC.

Proof isn't a grade. There are year lines which separate proofs from circulating coins.  Proof coins are almost always uncirculated but if someone puts one in circulation and gets a lot of wear it is still a proof coin but may grade as an F.

That why I made the request for it to be separated. and to grey out the G-UNC.  Proofs should not be listed with option of g-UNC since they were never meant to be standard circulation. They were meant to be special collection instead. Just my two cents.

Request withdrawn

All my proofs are put in a Collection separate from non-proof coins and under UNC. If you don't want to put a grade on your proofs , don't. They will show up under N/A.

You are not alone. Some interesting comments from a few years ago.  https://en.numista.com/forum/topic132574.html

Yea some of those comments are way above what I want.  Yes I like the High grade MS61+ but they are opinions grades. I have seen some that are MS65 that look the same as MS60.  I grade UNC as UNC. Now I do understand BU but that is still UNC. The only time I see something better than UNC is a UNC with a nice Cameo but then again A cameo can be on lower grades. I prefer to stick to the basic scale of U,G, VG ….UNC. Other grades are only opinion. It's like buying a Slabbed graded coin. If I buy them it is only because I want to make sure it is genuine. If buying in person I rarely go slabbed but buying on Ebay if it is a hard to find and usually is fake I  buy either slabbed or make sure the seller is reputable. With slabbed I prefer NGC because they keep pictures and see if it is exactly the same coin, with the marks in exactly the same place and that the coin is still in the exact position that it was in when NGC packaged it.  Again only grade system I look for is the basic scale.  Only 4 of my coins are slabbed. The rest if silver I put in capsule so they can be show to other people. Or if they have almost no value loose in a bag.
