If a new coin grading company decides to change the way
they grade coins should they be allowed to use the Sheldon
system on their labels. In my opinion companies like star,gec,
csi and all the others who make up their own system of grading
should not list ther coins as ms67 or so they should make up their on grades say gec67. Whats your opinion?

All should use the same system, however not all grading companies are good at grading. Some have one grader and it is their opinion only. Remember a grading company can be wrong and it is their opinion. As for large cents and 1/2 cents, the two collector organizations have stricter standards than all the grading companies. Best thing, learn to grade coins yourself. Buy the coin not the holder. Other than PCGS, NGC and ANACS forget the other grading companies. Okay ICG is not to bad.

The purpose for the grading system is supposed to be standardization. Personally, I think any MS grade of a slabbed coin is a crock because it had to "circulate" to get into the holder. It is always a good idea for an individual to have their own opinion about what they think the grade or beauty of the coin is. I dislike toned coins, particularly ones that are unevenly toned, even though they often come in MS slabs.
