Hello Marvin, that is what drove me to consider this. I personally started seeing the percentage criteria used about 30+ years ago by the big luger dealers on their price list. I have always wondered how to distinguish between say 97 and 98 percent or for that matter 90 and 91 percent...I think you know the problem. I never worried about it in the past because it never seem to have a big impact on value, but over the last 5 or 10 years that seems to have changed. It sort of reminds me of what is going on in the coin collecting hobby, where the grading and "value" have become so interlinked and subjective that certified graders are required and even then certified gradings can/will vary from one grader to another! The big game in that world is buying coins a one grade and then getting re-certified at a slightly higher grade for a big profit. It seems many types of collector guns are headed for the same type of profit driven debacle...I hope not.
