<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1072016, member: 25357&quot;]I&#039;ve been reading a great &quot;Coin Book&quot; titled <i>Rare Coin Investing, An Affordable Way to Build Your Portfolio&quot;</i> by David Ganz.&nbsp; In this book he asserts that coin grading standards have changed quite a bit over the last 30 years or so.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He cites an example of an 1842 O Quarter Eagle, which was catalogued as part of the Eliasberg collection in 1982 as a VF-30.&nbsp; The same coin was slabbed in an NGC holder and sold in 2008 as an AU-55!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know there was some loosening of standards over time, but had no idea it was so severe.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;d be interested to hear opinions on the subject from any collectors who&#039;ve been around the hobby for that period of time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
