<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quartertapper, post: 1072025, member: 16104&quot;]I for one do not like how laxed the grading scale has become. I do have a local dealer that still uses the older standards, and many of the coins I buy there would easily grade considerably higher if I pawned them off on ebay. First the&nbsp; green stickers, and then the &quot;+&quot; grades are supposed to fixed the errosion of the sheldon grading standards that has taken place over the past couple of decades. I feel it has just needlessly complicated things a little further. </p><p>Many people talk of cracking old slabs, and resubmitting them to get a higher grade. I personally feel the older slabs carry a premium themselves because of grade-flation, and therefore advise against it without a true professional&#039;s opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
