[QUOTE="calcol, post: 8509807, member: 77639"]Both PCGS and NGC should periodically re-examine and, where appropriate, change the weights/points give to various denomination, date, mint and variety coins. Weights/points are supposed to represent relative difficulty of collecting a particular coin, and this changes over time. The revaluation dates should be at regular intervals, say 5 or 10 years, and announced repeatedly in advance because there will be collectors who will see their set rankings go down. Repeated and prominent announcements of an upcoming revaluation date should lessen the screaming when it happens. To my knowledge, PCGS has never changed weights, and it’s long overdue.
