[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 3200497, member: 76863"]I've yet to see real evidence it was ever a 66 but even if it was that doesn't tell the whole story. It very easily could have been graded before + grading ever happened so 66 or 66+ is irrelevant if plus grades were not a thing first time around. It's not a secret that eye appeal means more in grading now that a long time ago, so yes certain things will upgrade from eye appeal while other things that were technically graded will downgrade. I don't have a problem at all trying to learn more, my problem is with some of the "experts" that have never seen the coin and will freely trash it when they would never play at that level and think they can know everything from a picture. My basic point was just that be careful what you listen to, there's a lot of supposed world class graders on forums that aren't even close to that. Some of those haven't had experience for a decade with it. Real world grading experience does mean something and this idea that some push that it's super lose is not reality. Actual world class graders that have seen it in hand not only gave a grade but then CAC agreed as did the buyers who saw it in hand, that's multiple real experts. Anyone can type on a forum and that's exactly what happens a lot They knew what they were doing when they put those bids in[/QUOTE]
