Fact: the Sheldon scale still uses a range on raw photos

General

Collectors talk Poor-1 through Mint State-70. Circulated grades describe remaining detail; Mint State grades describe marks and luster. Phone photos of raw coins rarely justify a single number. That is why Dent publishes a range instead of a fake certificate.
