They may have a program that calculates the values for all grades when
just 
one grade/value is entered   I see no point in listing values below vf for

notes from 1961 onwards unless an issue is only found in low grade.

The Banknote Year Book UK give values for modern notes in EF and Unc,
older 
notes in VF and EF, and for notes about pre 1930 in fine and VF.

A very sensible system than cannot be bettered IMHO.

Common modern notes are usually not desirable below EF but for older notes

fine or even vg is acceptable.  Billy
