That being: Tightening grading standards can be good for the hobby and collectors and bad for dealers that dump lots of money into trying to score the upgrade in the resubmission game.</p><p>Additionally; deleting the excess images of upgraded coins is, in theory, financially beneficial to dealers who own and market those upgraded coins. By hiding the fact that a coin was upgraded by 1 or more grades, it gives the customer false confidence that the coin is (for example) a true MS67 rather than a previous MS66 or worse, like it was formerly. Deleting the repeat images also hides this fact from other dealers, who may buy it and sink even <i>more</i> money into resubmission fees, trying to get it into an MS68 holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
