<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4293375, member: 101855&quot;]When it comes to grades for the late date Type III good dollars, it often depends upon when it was graded and which company did the grading. I put together a “short set” of these from 1880 to 1889. The third party graders were tough as nails on these from time they opened until say the early 2000s. Some of the “old green label” (OGL) PCGS coins are or close to under graded. NGC tended to be a bit loser. The 1889 you have would have graded as low as MS-63 during this period. </p><p><br /></p><p>In more recent years, the standards have slipped. One of the last coins I bought was in an MS-65 NGC holder. It was no better than the MS-63 coins for the earlier years. I bought it because the dealer sold it at a deep discount, well below the grade on the holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
