<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4602562, member: 101855&quot;]I have been out of the bulk grading game as a witness for a long time. But from my experience 20+ years ago, the &quot;bell curve grading policy&quot; applied. A dealer I know had several rolls of Sacajawea Dollars graded when they were first issued. Somehow, he thought that collectors were going to buy them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins in MS-66 holders were not as nice as coins in MS-64 holders. It was like the grader threw them all down a staircase and the ones that landed on the top steps were graded MS-66 and 67, and the ones on the bottom were 62s and 63s. The main interest seemed to be to get them into slabs and put a random grading number on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, there was a nice mix of grades as one might expect. It’s just the preservation of the coin inside was secondary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
