<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1445133, member: 15309&quot;]It is a red letter day in the history of Cointalk.&nbsp; And yes, I have admitted when I was wrong but I am not about to go find my admissions in my 6,000+ posts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>All of the coins you just quoted are ultra high grade moderns.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know very much about the modern market but it seems to me that much of those increases is related to the fact that it was an emerging market back in 2003.&nbsp; Wasn&#039;t that the height of the state quarter craze?&nbsp; In addition, the mint puts out a new crop of coins every year that drastically affect the population reports.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think that these changes you have quoted are the result of a change in grading standards.&nbsp; They are more likely the result of increased submissions in an emerging market and growing popularity of modern registry sets.&nbsp; However, I will admit that I believe that PCGS did deliberately change their grading standard with respect to MS70 &amp; PF70 coins sometime during that time period.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really thought you were talking about classic coinage Doug.&nbsp; Based on our past conversations, I don&#039;t believe that your opinion about changed grading standards is limited only to moderns.&nbsp; Do you have any evidence within the population reports of any classic coin series or even individual date/mm that would support your theory?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
