<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1349844, member: 15929&quot;]I do not think its your imagination but to get a clearer picture you really should include the undergrades.</p><p><br /></p><p>IF the undergrades increased in proportion to the PR69DCAM/PF70DCAM then its simply a matter of more submission due to relative sales prices and submission privileges. By that I mean that in 2002, I could not submit coins for grading but in 2003 I could. Better yet, when did PCGS and NGC create the Collector&#039;s Club level for non-Dealers to submit coins for grading?</p><p><br /></p><p>Better yet, how many were submitted for grading during the explosion years?</p><p><br /></p><p>As an IKE collector/seller, I would always point out that the &quot;total&quot; number of 1972 Type 2 coins graded by PCGS was well under 1,000 coins to address relative rarity. Since then the populations have almost doubled meaning that more folks have been submitting them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe, just maybe, the increase in PR69DCAM and PR70DCAM populations is more closely related to the &quot;volume&quot; of submissions and not necessarily a lessoning of grading standards?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
