<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 3202476, member: 22377&quot;]So someone quite possibly got cheated. The submitter at the prior grade kept running into the conservative grading cycle while the next person stumbled into the &quot;loose by comparison&quot; period. And even if we agree that there is no loose period, a loose by comparison period still achieves the same result as a loose period: someone (especially those with inside info) gets to reap the rewards of a TPG&#039;s decision to change the grading standards. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Do you know for certain that the 66 grade occurred before plus grading? Pluses have been around since 2010. So the coin has had 8 years to earn the plus. And the coin could have earned a 67 under the old (no pluses) system, but it didn&#039;t. The old 66 grade does matter; multiple graders and a finalizer examined the coin and gave it that grade for a reason. And I don&#039;t think the color has improved over the years on the coin to such an extent as to merit a higher grade (unless some doctor found a way to enhance it-which I doubt).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
