<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thorne, post: 2411327, member: 56869&quot;]Oh, that can happen. Many years ago I sent ANACS a large cent I had purchased as a near-gem coin. This was back in the days of certification with a photo of the back and front of the coin. Anyway, it came back as AU55/55 (they also graded both sides independently). I sent it back with a letter asking them to point out the wear on the coin, as I couldn&#039;t see it. It was returned to me with a new grade, MS60. So it went from a lightly circulated piece to one that was an incredibly beat-up uncirculated coin. Years later I sent the same coin to PCGS. It came back MS64 Brown, which is the grade I had purchased.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
