[QUOTE="borgovan, post: 883698, member: 13016"]Well, it's actually funny that you say it was just these two series whose grading standards were changed. I recall getting this book a few years ago, flipping it open to the Indian head cent section, and saying to myself that standards were really slipping. When challenged last night, I went back to that same section. I then decided to get some reinforcement. I looked at flying eagle cents, and they looked borderline. I then randomly flipped to the buffalo nickels, and found another grading standard inconsistent with my own, which I posted. I'll admit, I haven't been through the entire book. I now have some motivation to do so. I just find it strange that I just happened to select the two series they changed.
