[QUOTE="Insider, post: 8463140, member: 24314"]I'm surprised at any "old-timers" who don't remember how things were in the 1970's. When the ANA finally got around to publishing a book about "Grading Standards" in 1978 (First Edition 1977) grading was based on: "[COLOR=#ff0000]Our goal was to standardize grading by defining significant [/COLOR][B][COLOR=#b30000]DEGREES OF WEAR[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#ff0000] and establishing guidelines so that the various grades may be easily identified." [/COLOR] Note that it was not until many years later that the COMMERCIAL GRADING done by coin dealers and the "new" TPGS (PCGS) was incorporated into the ANA's Grading Guide! ;) PS I was there. So my original post stands: [B]The ANA invented NOTHING![/B][/QUOTE]
