  DESCRIPTIVE TERMS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCALE
  

  Dr. K.A. Rodgers writes: "Honesty is the best policy: In your
  recent piece concerning terms used to describe medals, readers
  are no doubt used to the eternal search for bigger, better and
  brighter adjectives to qualify the common word "uncirculated"
  - whether used by a coin or note vendor.
  

  However, when we come to the other end of the scale dealers
  tend to become a little tongue- tied. However, in an auction
  held over the weekend, an Aussie dealer told it like it was.
  The note was graded as "Poor" and the catalogue was upfront
  describing it as "tatty and frail". For his honesty, the
  vendor sold the lot for $A2600 on a $500 estimate!"
