[QUOTE="900fine, post: 354217, member: 6036"]One of the big problems I see is that this forces some change in each of the TPGs. That means that some old slabs are now misgraded, and not for the normal reasons. What to do in cases where a TPG's standard changed ? For example, let's say you're holding an old slab NGC MS63, which, by the new standards, is an MS64. It seems there would have to be a way to get the coin regraded to new standards on the cheap [I]a la [/I]reholdering, so that everything evens out. If the new standards were stricter*, no one would want to downgrade the slab. This would lead to ENORMOUS confusion about value of "old slab / new slab". Chaos. The more I think about it, I'm concerned the remedy is worse than the disease... All of which begs the question - [B]how different are the standards for NGC vs PCGS ?[/B] I'm sure it varies issue by issue. [SIZE=1]* for a given TPG / issue / grade[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
