<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DMPL_dingo, post: 5409604, member: 75000&quot;]I don&#039;t think this directly answers your question, but have you seen Morgans in PCGS &quot;rattlers&quot; (their first generation holders)? Though not a large sample size, 90+% of the &quot;rattlers&quot; I own and have sent to CAC have gotten stickered. I&#039;d say it was about 50% success for newer generation holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>A better test of current vs old grading practices would be to crack a Morgan out of a rattler, resubmit it now, and see if it grades higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a general consensus that early PCGS/NGC grading was<i> much more conservative</i> than it is today. &quot;Experiments&quot; such as the ones described above bear that out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a recent example from my collection. 63 is a very conservative grade for this coin, I bet if I cracked it out and resubmitted now it would grade higher. I wouldn&#039;t do that though, because the premium of a rattler + CAC sticker is worth more in this case (the price between 63 and 64 isn&#039;t drastic for this date).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1234264[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
