<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1206849, member: 66&quot;]Dr Sheldon in 1949&nbsp; He would take a technical grade and then make reductions in the grade for problems to arrive at a net or market grade.&nbsp; EAC followed that lead as did ANACS when they began grading in 1979.&nbsp; In the late 80&#039;s things began to change as the market got hot.&nbsp; Now market grading became start with a technical grade and then RAISE the grade because in a hot market you can get away with it or because the coin has exceptional eye appeal.&nbsp; The market is demanding more MS-65&#039;s so the coins that would formerly 64&#039;s get the &quot;boost&quot; and become 65&#039;s etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
