<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1933277, member: 5233"]I personally don't care for the idea that key dates get a grade bump...but frankly it doesn't really matter. It doesn't really affect the value. It's still a supply and demand issue. If the normal thing to do is grade 1909-S VDB Lincolns with a touch of wear at MS62...then that will raise the supply of MS coins and drive the price down. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do believe however that the characteristics of a given date should be considered. You can't grade an 1880-S and an 1892-O Morgan the same. They are different coins...yes they are from the same series, but they are so different they can't be held to the same standards. The same thing is true about a 1909-S VDB and a 2009-D Lincoln. They aren't comparable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, like I said before...I'd like to see a 1909-S VDB and a 1911-S held to the same standards.
