There are several things that UNC might stand for, but to me none of them suggests a rating scale. Open to suggestions, of course. JohnB (talk) 00:10, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

I think the most likely candidate from w:UNC is the numismatic code for an uncirculated coin. —Scs (talk) 00:49, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

I don’t think A/AA/AAA are battery sizes, but rather credit rating. That is also consistent with their positions in the upper half of the scale.--172.69.235.142 00:37, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

A+ reminded me of European Union energy label ratings - but it is also in the credit rating list -- Bmwiedemann (talk) 01:31, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Does anyone know what "S" is a rating for? 172.69.34.206 01:35, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
