[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1442577, member: 22004"]Thanks for those Morgan images, Lehigh. All nice gems. I don't think there has been much change in grading standards for those as they are the most common and popular collector coins. As for the OP's question, I find that NGC is more the technical grader vs. PCGS; arguments can be made to back up why any given coin is deserving of a particular grade. Here is what NGC's head had to say as to the basis of their grading: [B]"MR: It bothers me that some good folks have a very bad experience trusting grading services and coin dealers when they realize that their supposedly well-selected coins are really very low-end or overgraded, worth well below bid levels. They bought into the promises of slabbing only to become its victims.

Were simply describing their condition, and by doing so independently, collectors are much more victors than victims. Over time there also have been factors that effected the perception of grading. Some say it’s gradeflation but I call most of it a learning curve. ........... [URL]http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=2259[/URL][/QUOTE]
