<p>[QUOTE="EyeAppealingCoins, post: 3602252, member: 96749"]It isn't just toned coins either. I once collected PCGS MS66 Liberty Head Nickels. Look at several of these (or at least pull images from auction archives) and you will see a world of difference between coins certified in the last 3-4 years and older coins (solid blue label and before). Go through the Great Collections archives and compare to Heritage and Stacks-Bowers and you'll find generic 65 FBL Franklins ending up in 67 FBL holders with alarming frequency. I can believe that there are a few "one offs" at times, but there is a very clear pattern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
