But seriously, is there really no way to establish an "expert" recognized definition of the term "mint" and for that matter nm, nm+, nm-, etc.? Couldnt some of the heavy weights in the community come together for such a purpose?

If it can be done with coins why not daggers. I can't believe it can be that hard to establish a reasonable grading scale, but I recognize my ignorance in making this statement.
