<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2coins, post: 111758, member: 4478&quot;]I remember the old days well,Keep in mind that the grades were in general and &quot;SLIDERS&quot; were commonly sold as UNC. and your AU you sold was down graded to VF!!I like the gradeing standard these days, but the MS-60 to higher grades get out of hand.The gradeing books are great, everyone should use them to see. Keep in mind that some of you complain about &quot;Slabbed coin grades&quot; but the year and die used for that coin are fully known by the graders!,Example.. I have a 1833&nbsp; Bust quarter, it is known the die was rusty and had pot marks, also the reverse was the 1834 B2 variant, also known that the strike was blurred or weaker on some areas,(strike, not wear!) so mine was graded AU-50, but looking at it you would think EX-Fine!!. so I like the system today way better than the &quot;Good Ol Days&quot;.Slabbed coins also keep some dealers from the chance of down-gradeing you!!.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
