Didn&#039;t TPG send you a signal to crack-out/re-submit all properly graded AU 1877 cents? You should receive a much higher grade(s) on them and thus they will be priced/sold at $4500, except the grade isn&#039;t AU-50 anymore. If so, when all PS AU-50 1877 cents are upgraded to much higher grades, what are you going to do? What does $4500 price guide in your pink list stand for at that time? Should we reset grading standards after all &quot;corrected graded based on 80s to early 90s standards&quot; are upgraded?</span> <img src="https://forums.collectors.com/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://forums.collectors.com/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://forums.collectors.com/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Rick Snow, an Indian cent dealer has been advocating stricter standards and &quot;stickers&quot; cents that meet the criteria of the old days.&nbsp; He has written several articles on this and is giving a presentation on a grading proposal at this years ANA Convention.
