It would be interesting to hear from JA (CAC), and the 2 major TPGs to find out what percentage of coins submitted to them for a CAC bean or a...
Haven't submitted yet, but others tell me how they see it. Could be right or wrong, whatever. Good point ! Gonna look for that Franklin Half...
Weasel, that's a Gen 3.1 holder.....1995-98. Supposedly, the standards then were still pretty strict. It's when the various shades of blue label...
I bet the ratio of upgrades to downgrades is far higher. The problem with this whole re-submission thing is you can send in a coin 20 times and...
I find playing GTG and looking at raw coins on the auction sites and also grading coins without looking at the grade to be instructive. Seeing...
I'm not sure I BELIEVE it so much as I haven't seen any discussion to the contraray. You think the TPGs have gotten tougher in the last decade ?...
OK, that's what I meant or implied.:D
I admit they're better than lay people, novices and intermediates especially. Maybe you vets can better stand up to them. But this whole...
My understanding is that the standards were strict 20-25 years ago (1990's)...got loose about 15-16 years ago (2004 as per Doug)...and havne't...
The TPGs and us are off many times by 1 full grade....sometimes 2 grades....and yet, we're worrying about tenths from 65.1 to 65.9 ? :D Unless...
I just like gathering as much information on what happened in the past from as many different perspectives as possible. Talking about the past...
I mean, the change from technical to market grading seems to have happened overnight without any formal announcement, etc.
Can you give an example(s) ?
I think you're right Ddddd....matches up better. So it's even MORE recent.
CORRECTED: The OP's holder in the CC Morgan is a Gen 4.6 holder from 2005-2011. So this would have been right after the standards were...
You mean back to 2004....or the 1990's ? The standards SHOULDN'T change...I understand different graders interpret differently, but the standards...
Are there coins -- Saints a few years ago comes to mind -- where a lower-graded CAC sells for MORE than a higher-graded non-CAC (i.e., MS65 CAC...
It never ceases to amaze me that the folks who most see conspiracies in the failure of gold and silver to be 100% higher nonetheless want to...
I'll buy that. Actually, I'll hopefully buy a 1907 HR even cheaper. :D Seriously, what you are saying -- and what Charlottedude might be...
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Could you give more details ? If anything, I don't think it's demand that has leveled off -- it's...
