Message:: [QUOTE="vavet, post: 400723, member: 11630"]I think the Mickley 1804 Dollar is a better example. That coin showed up in a bank tellers till and even Rick Montgomery stated it shows evidence of handling but NGC still gave it a 62 grade. In fact, only four of the 14 1804 Dollars are still in mint state but several of the other ten are in PCGS or NGC slabs. IMO, thats proof positive that the TPG's have no moral compass.  The 1804 Dollars are also a good example of changing grading standards. Don't recall (and ain't gonna look it up) which one it is, but NGC changed the grade on another 1804 Dollar from 65 to 66 because NGC had developed a "frame of reference". Gotta love the terminology used to explain how they are still learning how to grade certain issues. Like they never saw any of the million or so other Bust Dollars, some of which are alot better looking and they aren't even proofs.[/QUOTE]
