<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7667188, member: 103207&quot;]Over grading keys has been going on for a long time.&nbsp; A few years ago I saw a lot of 1877 Indian cents graded good to good 6 that were really barely AG 3.&nbsp; I saw some graded VG that were really only good.&nbsp; This type of grading damages the value of properly graded coins.&nbsp; A long time ago I read an article about a 1804 that was AU that ended up in a PCGS mint state holder.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know why it was even done.&nbsp; The people that can afford one of those should now what they&#039;re buying.&nbsp; Then there is market grading.&nbsp; Market grading seems to happen with some coins with minor problems like a light clean or wipe but, I&#039;ve seen it done with some key dates that had a minor scratch.&nbsp; This is why in my earlier post I put extra fine for the 1908-S.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
