<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1508769, member: 112&quot;]NGC has always had an 8&quot; minimum for DMPL, PCGS used to be 4-6&quot;. But if I remember correctly it says someplace on their web site that they use 8&quot; now. So I&#039;ll agree about them getting tougher on that. But my grading standards haven&#039;t changed in 20 years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sure I&#039;ve made my share of mistakes in grading just like anybody else. If you read my comment from earlier, I said I was never wrong on a DMPL - I didn&#039;t say any coin. DMPLs are really one of the easier coins to grade IMO. I mean the reflectivity is either there or it isn&#039;t. So it&#039;s pretty hard to miss that. And if the reflectivity and frost is there, then marks are also easier to see. It&#039;s kind of like grading Proofs, they are easier to grade too, for the same reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if I am wrong about the TPG standards having changed, then why do so many other numismatic authors and &quot;experts&quot; agree with me ? For several years now the number of articles on the subject has done nothing but steadily increase. They see the same things I see, and have been seeing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
