Message:: [QUOTE="Vess1, post: 3232192, member: 13650"]Grading is a lot more re-fined now than it used to be.  I've read about the old days and supposedly grading was much more "broad".  A lot more stuff fell into blocks of MS that would be divided up now.     I always give old slabs a second look even if it is a myth.   To be honest, the product is usually disappointing.  Some stuff is actually over graded now because either spots have formed or red cents would no longer grade red.  Depends on how they were stored.   Even luster can be affected if not stored properly, which can be enough to downgrade something.  But nobody would ever intentionally send something in to be down graded.   Searched PCGS OGH on ebay.  In about 2 seconds I found something that's debatable.  Would this classify as a MS65 today if cracked out and re-submitted?   <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1886-Morgan-Dollar-PCGS-MS-65-FIRST-GEN-OGH-Toning-NO-RESERVE/163355191315?hash=item2608ba6813:g:DxwAAOSwdmlb32OJ:rk:6:pf:0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1886-Morgan-Dollar-PCGS-MS-65-FIRST-GEN-OGH-Toning-NO-RESERVE/163355191315?hash=item2608ba6813:g:DxwAAOSwdmlb32OJ:rk:6:pf:0" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1886-Morgan-Dollar-PCGS-MS-65-FIRST-GEN-OGH-Toning-NO-RESERVE/163355191315?hash=item2608ba6813:g:DxwAAOSwdmlb32OJ:rk:6:pf:0</a>   This one would probably upgrade if cracked out. <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-1833-Bust-Half-Dollar-PCGS-AU55-50-C-OLD-GREEN-HOLDER/292796900431?hash=item442c0e244f:g:pecAAOSwXi9b2a2h" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-1833-Bust-Half-Dollar-PCGS-AU55-50-C-OLD-GREEN-HOLDER/292796900431?hash=item442c0e244f:g:pecAAOSwXi9b2a2h" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-1833-Bust-Half-Dollar-PCGS-AU55-50-C-OLD-GREEN-HOLDER/292796900431?hash=item442c0e244f:g:pecAAOSwXi9b2a2h</a>[/QUOTE]
