<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 946662, member: 15199&quot;]Well, its a long trip down memory lane, but my early ANACs grade examples for uncirculated coins, had only MS60,MS63, and MS65. And as you can see on another threads the grade was split obverse/reverse. So a MS63 obverse could be right on, or really a current grading grade of MS64. And an old MS65 could be a MS66 or higher. Also now, the obverse seems to currently have more impact on a final grade than the reverse, so an old certificate for 65/63 could be an upgrade.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, don&#039;t think that people haven&#039;t been pursuing such cherrypicking since the expanded grades have come about. Most of the slam dunk have already been dunked. You might get some from private collectors, but most dealers worth their name, know how to grade, and if it is still in an ANACS slab, there is most likely good reason for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obvious is that one has to know how to grade accurately with today&#039;s standards to succeed at it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
