<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1445536, member: 112&quot;]Ahhhh, that makes perfect sense. You&#039;re willing to search through my 30,000 posts, but not your 6,000. Oh well, I wouldn&#039;t do it either.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, they are. But that&#039;s what I have independent and documented evidence on. And of course you&#039;re trying to imply that it&#039;s different, or something, for moderns. That even if they changed the rules for moderns, they wouldn&#039;t have done it for older coins. Or am I incorrect in that assumption ?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Classic huh ? Are Bust halves classic enough for you ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I can&#039;t pin the changes down to just those that occurred in 1 year, like I did with the others. But what I can do is to show the grade pops up until 2003 - about 16-17 years worth. As opposed to what the grade pops are today, that shows how things have changed since 2003.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I am sorry to say that the only access I have to pop numbers are those I can get from Heritage. And only a few of Heritage&#039;s records still show pops for both PCGS and NGC. So in most of the examples I have below, we only get to see the present NGC pops. But I think that&#039;s more than adequate to show what I am trying to show - that the grading standards have changed. And that they have changed since 2003, as opposed to changing in the earliest years of the TPGs.</p><p><br /></p><p>1813 MS65</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>combined pop in 2003 - 7, with 5 higher</p><p>today - NGC alone, 10 - with 247 higher</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1814 MS65</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>combined pop in 2003 - 17, with 7 higher</p><p>today - NGC alone, 22 in 65, with 109 higher</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1829 MS64</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>combined pop in 2003 - 63, with 19 higher</p><p>combined pop today - 90, with 49 higher</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1830 small O MS64</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>combined pop in 2003 - 56, with 16 higher</p><p>today - NGC alone, 123, with 40 higher</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1833 MS64</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>combined pop in 2003 - 85, with 22 higher</p><p>today - NGC alone, 92, with 41 higher[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
