<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1320428, member: 112&quot;]So let me ask you brg - am I correct in thinking that you do not believe the TPGs have changed grading standards ? It kind of seems to me you think that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>How about the Old Green Holders, (PCGS of course) ? Pretty much the entire coin community believes that they changed their grading standards (made them looser) from what they were when those slabs were used. That&#039;s why for years people searched out those slabs and paid premiums for them, just so they could resubmit the coins and get a higher grade. So just about everybody accepts that change in grading standards as having really happened.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, PCGS even admitted, publicly, to another change in their grading standards when they finally agree to assign the 70 grade to coins. In the years before that change finding a PCGS 70 slab was a true rarity. In the years since that change they become extremely common. So common that the 70s now outnumber the 69s. Just about everybody accepts that change as having really happened. So rather obviously they do change their grading standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what makes it so hard to believe that they changed them in late 2004 or early 2005 ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
