Message:: [QUOTE="Aslpride, post: 1435564, member: 36954"]I just purchased NGC IKE 1977 MS 65, Kennedy 1995 MS 65 and PCGS Kennedy 2010 MS65. I bought them at $10 each. I am not done as I am working to get MS 66, 67 and 68. The purpose to have them is increase my knowledge in grading system by NGC and PCGS. I have Official ANA Grading Standards, but it doesn't have pictures showing details on different between numbers in MS area. It did explained the different between MS 65 and 66 or 67 and 68. However, I want to see an official's perspective by look at real clapped coins by NGC and PCGS. It will give me a better aspect on what they are looking at. However, during my thought during study on grading system. A thought popped up and I would like to ask you all on your opinion on this thought. I wonder if they may grade the coin depend on age? For example, any coins from 1995 to present, they are graded in very strict grading system. In vice verse, the older coins will grade less strict grading system than newer coins. Is that true? Do they practice that way or they grade all coins in same very strict grading system despite on their ages?[/QUOTE]
