Message:: [QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1913355, member: 5233"]I disagree...the OGH isn't what is used to be.  Even back then, there was a grade spectrum in each grade.  Mid-level coins and up in each grade are easily upgraded using today's standard.  That is why so many of those coins have been cracked out and resubmitted. But, people have always known that there were low end coins back then too...coins that by today's standard are mid-range for the grade.  Those coins would not get an upgrade today.  Based on what I have seen, the remaining OGH coins are a much higher percentage of coins like this...coins that have been correctly passed over by those who look to crack and resubmit. By today's standards...these coins are now "solid for the grade" when they were sliders back then.  By today's standards, they would warrant a green bean.  Not over-graded, but solid for the grade. The gold stickers are the one's that indicate the coin would grade higher today.  Heck, it was practically invented for the OGH coins...because so many were under-graded.  But like I said, most of those have been cracked out and what remains are the "low end" coins of the OGH (for the most part)...which today get a green bean. Now, the reason I disagree with your statement is in today's market...people pay a premium for green beans because they are "solid" for the grade.  So, this coin would get a premium either way...at least this way you know what you are getting.[/QUOTE]
