I am under the impression that he means games with an ESRB, PEGI, or any other age restriction rating imposed on it upon being published. However, seeing as every game as such labels nowadays, and inferring from the content of the posts that have followed the opening post, I am led to believe that my initial impressions are quite inaccurate.

Its okay to be wrong your always a pal. But if Arv was going to talk about pegi or esrb he would call it a rating not a grade

Coins and currency uses a grading system. The system is out of 70 for both coin and paper.

The collector value of an item can vary wildly in just a difference of .5 or 1. An MS 67 is certainly worth less than an MS68...in some cases there could be hundreds of MS67s floating around in the pop reports and under five or ten 68s or higher. The value can vary wildly between grades.

I see on the Numismatic Gauranty website there has been 1 submitted that graded 69, 62 at 68, and 610 submitted at 67 for the 2018D lincoln cent(just your average circulation coin). The guy with the 69 could likely sell his for thousands, the guys with the 68s a few hundred and the 67s...maybe not even enough to make back the cost of grading. They took a chance and thought they may have had "the one" and they all failed. This also depends on the population reports from the other reputable websites.

The problem with grading games is that you have to trust whoever's grading them and a lot of people don't know shit about grading games.

I mean growing up in school a 7/10 was a C which by definition means "average" so it's kind of ingrained in my head.
Also, you have to realize that games are supposed to be GOOD. A game that's aiming for a 10 but misses quite a bit and only hits a 7 is average.

Well, I don't know why they use 70 for coins and currency being the max, but 70 does mean absolute perfection in the currency world.

5 = average, 6 = above average, 7 = good, 8 = great, 9 = elite, 10 = perfect

I do think expectations play into it though a game that's expected to be a 10 and ends up a 7 isn't going to be the same as a game that went in with the expectations of being a 7.
