<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidlawrence, post: 406362, member: 15258&quot;]Photograde on circs. The school of hard knocks on mint state. I&#039;ve been going to coin shows since I was 5 years old. The standards have definitely changed on coins over the years. For example, up until the grading services rarely graded anything higher than MS65, or &quot;gem BU&quot;. It was just not done. I even recall when CDN added MS63 to the pricing sheets. So, over the years, we&#039;ve all adapted to the modification and expectation of various grades and it&#039;s and evolutionary process. To learn it, one really needs to look at a lot of coins. An auction lot viewing (in person) is a great place to start.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
